[flexcoders] Rotate bug in Rich Text Edit?

[murraymacdon...@ymail.com]

Hi guys,

How do you rotate a RichTextEditor and have it remain editable?  I've tried 
many things.  The closest I've come is the following which seems to expose a 
bug.  Why does the first RTE work, while the second one does not?  It seems if 
you make a 1 character difference in the rotationVector it works.  What up with 
that?  Why can't it handle a vector of 0?  Ultimately my question is "How do 
you rotate a RTE (without skewing it) and have it remain editable?"

Thanks,

Murray.
