_rotation (TextField._rotation property)
public _rotation : Number
The rotation of the text field, in degrees, from its original orientation. Values from 0 to 180
represent clockwise rotation; values from 0 to -180 represent counterclockwise rotation.
Values outside this range are added to or subtracted from 360 to obtain a value within the
range. For example, the statement my_txt._rotation = 450 is the same as
my_txt._rotation = 90.
Rotation values are not supported for text fields that use device fonts. You must use embedded
fonts to use _rotation with a text field.
Note: This property is not supported for Arabic, Hebrew, and Thai.
Example
In this example, you need to create a dynamic text field called my_txt, and then use the
following ActionScript to embed fonts and rotate the text field. The string my font refers to a
font symbol in the library, with a linkage identifier of my font.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "my font";
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160,
120);
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.embedFonts = true;
my_txt.text = "Hello world";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
my_txt._rotation = 45;
Apply additional formatting for the text field using the TextFormat class.
