If you use an embedded font I think you can rotate Flex 3 text components. But if you want to use a device font, you would have to develop custom components that use FTE or TLF instead of TextField to render their text, and you'd have to require Flash Player 10. Looking at how Flex 4 implements its new text components would probably be useful if you're going to do this.
