Formatting Text on StartMovie

Here's a little routine I call in the StartMovie handler for every text field in that movie. It sets the text info for a field. Typically I call it with something like this:

  SetTextInfo "Some Text", " ", "center", "helvetica", 18, "bold"

which sets the field "Some Text" to contain a space that is helvetical 18 bold, centered.

on SetTextInfo fldName, fldValue, fldAlign, fldFont, fldSize, fldStyle
  put fldValue into field fldName

  set the textAlign of field fldName = fldAlign
  set the textFont of field fldName = fldFont
  set the textSize of field fldName = fldSize
  set the textStyle of field fldName = fldStyle
end
