How to skew a Textfield in Actionscript 3.0? - actionscript-3

Question

How can I skew a Textfield in order to set a ascending space for each line.
Following image should illustrate my intention:

Answer 1

Got it:
adobe
public class TextBlock_createTextLineExample extends Sprite {
public function TextBlock_createTextLineExample():void {
var str:String = "I am a TextElement, created from a String and assigned " +
"to the content property of a TextBlock. The createTextLine() method " +
"then created these lines, 300 pixels wide, for display." ;
var fontDescription:FontDescription = new FontDescription("Arial");
var format:ElementFormat = new ElementFormat(fontDescription);
format.fontSize = 16;
var textElement:TextElement = new TextElement(str, format);
var textBlock:TextBlock = new TextBlock();
textBlock.content = textElement;
createLines(textBlock);
}
private function createLines(textBlock:TextBlock):void
{
var lineWidth:Number = 300;
var xPos:Number = 15.0;
var yPos:Number = 20.0;
var textLine:TextLine = textBlock.createTextLine (null, lineWidth);
while (textLine)
{
//increase textLine every Line 10 px to get an offset
textLine.x += 10
textLine.y = yPos;
yPos += textLine.height + 2;
addChild (textLine);
textLine = textBlock.createTextLine (textLine, lineWidth);
}
}
}
}

private static const _DEG2RAD:Number = Math.PI/180;
public static function skew(target:DisplayObject, skewXDegree:Number, skewYDegree:Number):void
{
var m:Matrix = target.transform.matrix.clone();
m.b = Math.tan(skewYDegree*_DEG2RAD);
m.c = Math.tan(skewXDegree*_DEG2RAD);
target.transform.matrix = m;
}
public static function skewY(target:DisplayObject, skewDegree:Number):void
{
var m:Matrix = target.transform.matrix.clone();
m.b = Math.tan(skewDegree*_DEG2RAD);
target.transform.matrix = m;
}
public static function skewX(target:DisplayObject, skewDegree:Number):void
{
var m:Matrix = target.transform.matrix.clone();
m.c = Math.tan(skewDegree*_DEG2RAD);
target.transform.matrix = m;
}
