Correct answer Eugene Tyson

If you use the Selection tool - it flips everything

 

 

 

If you use the Direct Select Tool - so you have to Drag the selection over the content

It flips the container

Drag selection over the content using the Direct Selection tool (white arrow)

 

 

Then when you flip you only flip the container

Extract the text, select it with the direct selection tool, move it to another layer, flip the rest.
