ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Such GIF Banner Generator By Flex?

I come across this free tools of making GIF banner at this site :[URL] As far as I could guess, the creator made it in Flash, I m trying to make an equivalent Flex application, and here some problems I encountered : -When press Generate Text button, I guess this application should make a new movieclip ( in Flash ) addEventListener to it,so it could be drag&drop, inside the movie clip was a Child of TextLabel with the fontFamily,fontSize,color depends on the combo boxes ==> So in my Flex application I tried to use the RichTextEditor Components, it worked great ( provide text/font/size/color selection ) but when I make a new button, say "Create Text" , I make a new label, but problem is that in programmatic API, Label wont have property such as fontFamily, fontColor, etc to be set with, so I only get the text by myLabel.text = richTextEditor.text, is there a work around ?

- When I use AS to change the rotation of the label, the label did rotate, but the label.text no longer display, =/, button reacts the same when I change the rotation, the frame would rotate without text inside the button frame, like always =)), is there a work around for it ?P.S : Is it possible to export from flex application a canvas to a GIF ? I mean, I made a canvas inside my Flex application, I loaded a picture in it, I drag&drop some text inside the canvas, and in the end, could I export the canvas's contents as a GIF/JPG/PNG file ? P.S: Talk about the RichTextEditor components, after choose font,size,color, I have the disire Text with font/color/bold/italic... just by typed in the text box, but how to get that Text ( full properties ) as another component and add drag & drop to it ?
