Hi All,

I have a chart in Flex 3 and am currently displaying the axis names using \<mx:Label! I want to display the vertical axis name vertically, that is  
p  
r  
i  
c  
e

instead of

price

I was wondering if anyone knew how I might be able to do this? Any help really would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,  
Derm
