mx Text not centering in bordercontainer

Question

So I have a borderContainer and have a text in it and the text is always moved 2 - 4 pixels to the left, I need it perfectly centered.

code

<s:BorderContainer id="box" width="100%" borderWeight="0"
backgroundColor="0xffffff" borderVisible="false"
backgroundAlpha="1" horizontalCenter="1" textAlign="center">

<mx:Text id="text" fontSize="10" textAlign="center"
width="100%"/>

</s:BorderContainer>

I have tried everything to the text horizontalCenter and verticalCenter = 0 , 1 , middle , center also tried removing 100 % doing all sort of things online but just can't get it to center perfectly :) any help would be appreciated

Note: the text will be numbers like $19.99 or similar :)

Answer 1

Can it help you?

<s:Group x="100" y="200">

    <s:Label  
        text="$19.99" 
        textAlign="center" 
        height="20" 
        width="55" 
        paddingTop="5" 
        paddingLeft="5" 
        paddingRight="5" 
        paddingBottom="5"/>

    <s:Rect width="100%" height="100%">
        <s:stroke>
            <s:SolidColorStroke color="red"/>
        </s:stroke>
    </s:Rect>
</s:Group>

I have added a Rect to show you the real border.

What version of flex do you use? I've just tried your example(only replaced white background to red one to clearly see centering), and centering is perfect

I used flex 4.6. However, I may advise you to embed that font which you use with mx:Text - for many fonts text measuring is not correct until those fonts are embedded.
