keep text centered between two points

[Spectrefish]

I have a stretch action on a linear parameter.
I have some text between two points in the dynamic block that I want to stay centered; however, the text stays the same distance away from the side I'm stretching.
How can I get the text to stay centered between the two points automatically when I stretch the block?

How can I get the text to stay centered between the two points automatically when I stretch the block?remove the text from the stretch action and and add a move action to the parameter that will move text. in properties dialog, change 'Distance Multiplier' field to .5

I've included an example for something i made a couple of weeks ago as a prelim design tool.

Ahhhh, excellent.

Now do you know if there is any way to get attributes to work with the move parameter as well?

By the way, hello from Winona.

By the way, hello from Winona.totally, dude! um, same way. do you have multiple visibility states?
ah! you're the one!! i was trying to remember who was nearby....

ah! you're the one!! i was trying to remember who was nearby....I get message that states: 2 unlocked attdefs filtered from selection.

I get message that states: 2 unlocked attdefs filtered from selection.i'm looking at it, and i have a block with something similar, but even with all properties the same, i can't get it to work (and mine's in a visibility state!).... but i haven't given up yet!!

Ended up getting it to work.
I had to lock the attribute positions. (which I tried before and it still didn't work:banghead: )

Then I had to delete the block and reinsert it.

After that and a couple of fatal errors upon inserting the block again it works fine.

Reinserting the block was the key I guess.

I guess it is because you can move the Attributes even if there are no parameters and actions (im guessing).

But the problem is when you reset the block the attributes will not reset to their original position. There should be a way for this...can't figure out.

This should work:

I made an attributes that is on "Locked Position" blocked it and edit on "Block Editor" place a "Base Point" para and "Move" action and it works 100%
