Having Trouble getting this box to Rotate.

[cbishop01]

I have having trouble getting this text box to rotate.

     function addTextF(doc, layer, name){  
 app.generalPreferences.preventSelectingLockedItems= false;
        var myBlendingSettings = { blendMode : BlendMode.NORMAL };        
        var myTransparencySettings = { blendingSettings : myBlendingSettings };     
        var tF = doc.textFrames.itemByName(name);  
        if(tF && tF.isValid) {        
 tF.remove();  
        }  
        var origUnit = app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit;  
 app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.INCHES;
    tF = doc.textFrames.add(layer, LocationOptions.UNKNOWN, {name: name, fillColor :"Paper", fillTint: 100, transparencySettings : myTransparencySettings, geometricBounds: ['.504in','.21in','.376in','-.21in'] });
 tF.flipItem(Flip.HORIZONTAL,AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR);            
 tF.locked=true;
 app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = origUnit;      
              return tF;  
    }

Depending on whether tF.flipItem(…) is applied, or not, before the rotation, try either

• tF.rotationAngle += 90;

or

• tF.rotationAngle -= 90;
