How to create a vertical button in Flex 3

Question

I'd like to create a button that is basically a rotated 90's so that it is in effect a vertically aligned button. So that the the text is like that of a book spine.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to set the rotation property of the button... so the mxml would be something like:

<mx:Button id="myButton" label="CLICK ME"  rotation="90" />

Edit

As a side note you will probably need to embed the font you are using if you want the text to be visible after the component has been rotated
