body: <p>How do you rotate a text field in actionscript 3.0?  As soon as I change the rotation property of the text field, it does not display.</p>
  
  <p>for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var txtFld:TextField = new TextField();
  txtFld.x = 100;
  txtFld.y = 100;
  txtFld.width = 300;
  txtFld.height = 300;
  txtFld.text = "Test String";
  txtFld.rotation = 90;
  addChild(txtFld);
  </code></pre>
