Flex HAccordion No Text?

Question

I'm a flex noob and I'm trying to figure out how to implement a horizontal accordion. I'm trying to make a horizontal version of the accordion on Doug McCune's blog: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/09/22/nifty-flex-accordion-menu-like-on-applecom/

I'm simply switching VAccordion to HAccordion (and some styling), when I do that, text no longer renders on the headers. I can add other components to the headers, and those will render, but not text.

How do I make text appear on the headers?

Answer 1

Until the release of version 10, Flash Player had a limitation where rotated text could not be displayed with standard device fonts. If you are targeting Flash Player 9, you need to embed the font used in the headers. The default font, by the way, is Verdana.
