Re: [flexcoders] Dynamically creating a text object

[Doug McCune]

Does flipping the canvas clear all the content, or does it simply make your
text disappear? Rotating text means you must embed the font that's used.
Otherwise the text will be invisible if any rotation is applied.

  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.
