How to center a text view with Applescript Objective C?

Question

I have a simple text view (which is inside a scroll view) and for the life of me I cannot make it center the text inside the text view. There is no choice in the inspector to center the text like there is when you use a normal text field. I have tried stuff like:

tell textView to setTextAlignment_(current application's setTextAlignment UITextAlignmentCenter)

But, obviously that fails. How is this done?

Did you mean `setAlignment_()`? There is no `setTextAlignment:` selector on `NSText` or `NSTextView`. — Rob Napier, Oct 30 '11 at 20:03
In non-programming speak all I need to know is how to center text programatically in a textView, which inside a scroll view. New to ObjC, heavy Applescript Studio user. — Mississippi Joe, Oct 30 '11 at 20:48
UITextAlignment is an iOS paradigm. If it exists you are after an NSTextAlignment value. — Mitchell Currie, Oct 31 '11 at 00:10
