Rotating Text in Flex
The Flex docs tell you that in order to use Fade effects with Text controls, you have to embed a True Type Font to use in the Flex application. The default Fonts available within Flex (Aerial, Verdana etc) will not fade.
This also applies to rotating Flex controls, which is not mentioned in the docs – as far as I can see.
