Went your suggested route with the bitmapdata and it'll certainly do the trick. Thanks much. Really appreciate the quick reply.

thanks for the very fast response.

However I tried copy/replace with rotation/rotationZ and it didn't work. It appears you are rotating the objects using rotate() and radians rather than setting the .rotation property.

I'm not sure I want to tackle redoing the radians and rotate() method.

I'm using the user's system fonts, so I can't embed fonts.

The user creates a line of text in my app, chooses the font they want (from a list of their system fonts) and the text gets placed on the interface. Then I need them to be able to rotate that text. With CS4 we can use rotationZ to do this rather than just rotation. How do I modify transformmanager to allow rotationZ?

Many thanks in advance.
