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

[Abdul Qabiz]

Yeah,
 
you can use Label's  _rotation property. But you would need to embed the
font if you want to rotate a Label,TextInput or TextArea..
 
For example:
 
##RotateLabel.mxml##

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; width="425"
height="400">
   <mx:Style>
      @font-face { fontFamily:myfont;
src:url("file:///c:/windows/fonts/Georgia.TTF"); } 
 
   </mx:Style>
   
    <mx:Canvas>
       <mx:Label fontFamily="myfont" fontSize="16" id="out" _rotation="45"
text="This is a label" alpha="20"/> 
    </mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>

I'd like to know if there's a simple way to rotate a label placed on a
canvas?

        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

        Hai!
              I want the text to be aligned vertically like:
        S
        H
        O
        P
        P
        I
        N
        G
        
        Is it possible with flex? If yes, how?
        
        regards,
        nithya
