Hi,

I am trying to create a custom Button class that can have its label
text rotated (but not the button itself). I know that this can be
achieved by embedding fonts, but ideally I don't want to have to do this.

In my research I came across this site, which contains a method for
rotating labels without embedding fonts:

http://www.gonnen.com/2007/11/rotating-text-in-actionscript-3-without.html

It's fairly simple, in the label's updateDisplayList(), a rotated
Bitmap of the label is drawn.

I looked into following the same principle for the button text but
this is much less straightforward (especially as the label is actually
a UITextField). I've tried adding one of the custom labels as a new
child of the button but that does not appear to do anything...

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Iain
