Hello,

I am trying to get a Landscape Dynamic text to show some data.

It works fine if the dynamic text is set portrait
Anyone tried this ?

Do you mean the other way around?

Horizontal dynamic text works but vertical dynamic text fails?

Have you included font outlines if it's a custom font? Flash can't display custom font rotated dynamic text without the outlines being included.

Hello, correct it's Horizontal dynamic text works but vertical dynamic text
fails ! I load data from a server and everything is fine in Horizontal text,
but if I make the text vertical it will not show anything. I trace it and it's
fine, data is there. The font it's one of the list so no particular issue
there, I think. Ciao Alessandro

Previous comment from vgslag is correct. If you want to render any
non-horizontal text you will need to embed the font glyphs using the Character
button in the Text Property Inspector. When you do this, you are embedding the
actual font outlines for the characters inside the SWF so the Flash Lite engine
can manipulate them like pictures. If you do not do this, Flash Lite will be
restricted to what the device is capable of doing...which will likely not
support rotation or other transformations. Hope this helps.
