It worked for me, I tried the rotation attribute and the Rotate effect.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Simple example to demonstrate the Rotate effect. -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
initialize="Font.registerFont(arial_font);">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.text.Font;
[Embed("assets/ARIAL.TTF", fontName="MyArial")]
public var arial_font:Class;
[Bindable]
public var angle:int=0;
private function rotateImage():void {
rotate.end();
angle += 45;
rotate.play();
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Rotate id="rotate" angleFrom="{angle-45}" angleTo="{angle}"
target="{myVB}"/>
<mx:Panel title="Rotate Effect Example" horizontalAlign="center"
width="75%" height="75%" layout="horizontal"
paddingTop="5" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10"
paddingBottom="5">
<mx:VBox id="myVB" width="50%" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Label text="Nokia 9930"
fontFamily="MyArial" fontSize="14" rotation="90"/>
<mx:Image id="img"
source="@Embed(source='images/arrowBlue.png')"/>
</mx:VBox>
<mx:Text width="50%" color="blue"
text="Click the button to rotate the image 45 degrees. Use
an embedded font when applying the Rotate effect to text."/>
<mx:ControlBar>
<mx:Button label="Rotate 45 Degrees" click="rotateImage();"/>
</mx:ControlBar>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
