rotate dynamic text about y-axis

[jaypozo]

Has anybody done this or seen a tutorial online? A client wants this effect, like a page turn, rotating 360 degs. It'd be nice to do with ActionScript - although I'd settle for a good frame tween (which you'd think I could figure out, but i'm hitting a mind block).

Thanks!!

To rotate dynamic text you have to embed the font into the textField.
Beyond that, it's as simple as:
thisText._rotation

That would work if i wanted to rotate about the z-axis, but i'm looking for rotation around Y.

...
There is no Z axis is 2 dimensional space. Y is up and down, X is left and right.
Z is how close you are to the "screen" or how far away. (depth) You can fake it in flash, but it only really exists in 3d programs.

By saying y rotation, I assumed you meant an object spinning around head over feet.If you want something that appears to move towards the screen that is not rotation, it is a trick.

I get now what you are asking about though,
run a search on page turn, there is about a dozen threads about it here, and tutorials all over the place.
