In order to rotate a label, textinput or textarea, you need to embed the font used in these components.
e.g. <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="425" height="400"> <mx:Style> @font-face { fontFamily:myfont; src:url("file:///c:/windows/fonts/Arial.TTF"); } </mx:Style> <mx:Label fontFamily="myfont" id="out" text="Result" _rotation="90"/> </mx:Application> This code embeds "Arial.ttf" in windows/fonts directory. Look at following livedocs page for more details: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/ht ml/wwhelp.htm?context=Flex_Documentation&file=00000567.htm -abdul ________________________________ From: Doug Coning [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 7:34 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Rotate Label???
