Re: [flexcoders] Vertical Text on a button

2006-01-31 Thread JesterXL
You could, but graphics aren't dynamic, embedded fonts allows dynamic 
changing of the buttons' text.

I'm not sure here, but can't you just make a graphic and use that instead of
text on the button?

Just so you know _rotation isn't suppoted, so we're in the ether realms
here.  If I were you, I'd extend button, and do a _rotation on the init for
just the label so things like width and height are relevant.

The problem is I want the button to be a specific size after I rotate
it.

For example.

I want a long button that's width = 20 and height = 100% with vertical
text.

If I initially create the button with a width of 20 and height of 100%
and do the rotate the button is now horizontal and half off the screen.

If I create the button initially with width of 100% and height of 20 and
do the rotate the results get even stranger.

yourButton.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
yourButton.setStyle("fontFamily", "Verdana");

And ensure whatever font you are embedding is the font it's using, like
Verdana for example.  Then:

yourButton._rotation = 90;

I have found examples on doing vertical text on a Label but I would
like to put vertical text on a button.

Is there an example of doing this?

The label just takes a String.
