Class BitmapText

Package | com.yahoo.astra.display
Class | public class BitmapText
Inheritance | BitmapText flash.display.Sprite

BitmapText is a class that can be used to create rotating text fields with device fonts. When the rotation property is set to a value other than 0 and the `embedFonts` is false, the text field will be replaced by a Sprite containing a bitmap.
