I've done some further tinkering with this, and I can't get any
transformed text to appear on a canvas. Am I doing something wrong?
Can someone point me to an example that works? Is this a bug?
Here's a simple test case:
var myText:Text = new Text();
myText.text = "Hello";
myText.x = 200;
myText.y = 200;
myText.transform.matrix = new Matrix(1,0,0,-1,0,300);
myCanvas.addChild(myText);

Nope, adding the text children clears my canvas. I think I now know
why. After I add all these children to my main Canvas I'm adding a
transform matrix to it to flip it vertically, like so:
mainCanvas.transform.matrix = new Matrix(1,0,0,-1);
This works just fine so long as I don't add the text children, but
if I do, the canvas ends up empty.
Is this something to do with Flex not being happy to vertically
flip my text objects? If so, would that be a bug?
Thanks for your help.
