use this function from now on:
createFont(font,fontsize,screenposx,screenposy,textposx,textposy,otherx,othery)
{
text = self createFontString( font, fontsize );
text.alignX = textposx;
text.alignY = textposy;
text.horzAlign = screenposx+"_adjustable";
text.vertAlign = screenposy+"_adjustable";
text.x = otherx;
text.y = othery;
return text;
}
to create it would be like this.
text = createFont("default", 1.8, "RIGHT", "TOP", "LEFT", "TOP", -155, 20);
that would create text, on the topright corner of the screen. But it would align all of the text to the left.
ie:
LIKE
THIS
ALL
TO
LEFT
but it'd be on the top right side of the screen.
It works on all resolutions/tv's this was aswell
ENJOY!!!!!

Havent you ever seen the setPoint function? It has all this and works with all tv screens and resolutions, 
setPoint( point, relativePoint, xOffset, yOffset, moveTime )
{
if ( !isDefined( moveTime ) )
moveTime = 0;
element = self getParent();
if ( moveTime )
self moveOverTime( moveTime );
if ( !isDefined( xOffset ) )
xOffset = 0;
self.xOffset = xOffset;
if ( !isDefined( yOffset ) )
yOffset = 0;
self.yOffset = yOffset;
self.point = point;
self.alignX = "center";
self.alignY = "middle";
if ( isSubStr( point, "TOP" ) )
self.alignY = "top";
if ( isSubStr( point, "BOTTOM" ) )
self.alignY = "bottom";
if ( isSubStr( point, "LEFT" ) )
self.alignX = "left";
if ( isSubStr( point, "RIGHT" ) )
self.alignX = "right";
if ( !isDefined( relativePoint ) )
relativePoint = point;
self.relativePoint = relativePoint;
relativeX = "center_adjustable";
relativeY = "middle";
if ( isSubStr( relativePoint, "TOP" ) )
relativeY = "top_adjustable";
if ( isSubStr( relativePoint, "BOTTOM" ) )
relativeY = "bottom_adjustable";
if ( isSubStr( relativePoint, "LEFT" ) )
relativeX = "left_adjustable";
if ( isSubStr( relativePoint, "RIGHT" ) )
relativeX = "right_adjustable";
if ( element == level.uiParent )
{
self.horzAlign = relativeX;
self.vertAlign = relativeY;
}
else
{
self.horzAlign = element.horzAlign;
self.vertAlign = element.vertAlign;
}
if ( strip_suffix( relativeX, "_adjustable" ) == element.alignX )
{
offsetX = 0;
xFactor = 0;
}
else if ( relativeX == "center" || element.alignX == "center" )
{
offsetX = int(element.width / 2);
if ( relativeX == "left_adjustable" || element.alignX == "right" )
xFactor = -1;
else
xFactor = 1;
}
else
{
offsetX = element.width;
if ( relativeX == "left_adjustable" )
xFactor = -1;
else
xFactor = 1;
}
self.x = element.x + (offsetX * xFactor);
if ( strip_suffix( relativeY, "_adjustable" ) == element.alignY )
{
offsetY = 0;
yFactor = 0;
}
else if ( relativeY == "middle" || element.alignY == "middle" )
{
offsetY = int(element.height / 2);
if ( relativeY == "top_adjustable" || element.alignY == "bottom" )
yFactor = -1;
else
yFactor = 1;
}
else
{
offsetY = element.height;
if ( relativeY == "top_adjustable" )
yFactor = -1;
else
yFactor = 1;
}
self.y = element.y + (offsetY * yFactor);
self.x += self.xOffset;
self.y += self.yOffset;
switch ( self.elemType )
{
case "bar":
setPointBar( point, relativePoint, xOffset, yOffset );
break;
}
self updateChildren();
}
