Constant Detail

AUTO

Constant
public static const AUTO:String = "auto"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies a 90 degree counter clockwise rotation for full width and wide glyphs only, as determined by the Unicode properties of the glyph. This value is typically used with Asian text to rotate only those glyphs that require rotation. This rotation is applied only in vertical text to return full width and wide characters to a vertical orientation without affecting other characters.

ROTATE_0

Constant 
public static const ROTATE_0:String = "rotate0"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies no rotation.

Constant 
public static const ROTATE_180:String = "rotate180"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies a 180 degree rotation.

ROTATE_270

Constant 
public static const ROTATE_270:String = "rotate270"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies a 270 degree clockwise rotation.
