That is not that easy, the text is calculated in its width to place the emoticons in the gaps. Every emoticon has around 3-4 whitespaces and based on font metrics the x,y coordinate of the image in the overlay of the text to place it exactly in the whitespace area.
Font metrics are calculated with build in mechanism's based on this graph: http://www.riaxe.com/effective-use-of-textlinemetrics-in-flex-textfield-components/ So there is no chance to use a simple align=center or similar and having emoticons at the same time. Except you re-work the complete calculation.
