RE: [flexcoders] Vertical Text- is it possible?

[Abdul Qabiz]

Hi Nithya,
 
It's not there by default, but you can do it by keeping one character per
line in a Label or TextArea or TextInput. You can write a simple
VerticalLabel component that would do it for you. For example:
 
Look code below or find attached files.


Hope that helps
