iOS input textfield rotation.

I am developing an app for both iOS and Android. When my app launches I have a login screen requiring a user to fill out a form.... but the form is slightly angled, about 30 degrees to conform to the graphics provided to me.

On Android the textfield appears correctly and as I type I can see the input appearing in the textfield at an angle.

On iOS it is completely ignoring the angle and setting the rotation back to 0.... and now the textfield is no longer aligned with my graphics. I understand that for iOS, it overlays its own textfield and tries to match color, size, and etc... but apparently just not the angle.

Is it possible to add rotation to an input textfield on iOS?

Not an answer to the original question, but a workaround: you can use a "hidden" (ie, y=-1000) text-input to grab the typed text and a 30* rotated dynamic textfield to display the results.

@julifos, not sure I'm following you... but the problem with this is that iOS doesn't apply what you are typing into the textfield until after the softkeyboard goes away.... which is the way it's behaving now anyway.

bump....no one has ever had a rotated input textfield on iOS?

Have you tried nesting the TextField inside a Sprite or MovieClip and rotating that instead? I honestly haven't rotated a textfield in any app I've made.. But containers typically solve problems like this.

sadly yes I have tried this but it doesn't work either... specifically this is only happening to input textfields... regular dynamic textfields are fine.
