Is it possible to add a flipx or flipy attribute to textboxes/labels as it is to textures?

no but why ?
so you have to look at it in a mirror ?
or are you looking for a mirror effect like the icons

I'm looking for the mirror effect so dynamic text can be included in reflections. To make this possible...

That looks silly to me, but it's probably possible using a rotate of 180 degrees about the x axis, centred appropriately.

Rotate about x axis would result in the text being upside down but not a mirror image, wouldn't it?
Not quite right for reflections, thanks for the suggestion though.

EDIT: Wow really wasn't awake when I wrote that. Yes, x-axis would do it but don't think there is any other way of doing it apart from the flip attribute is there?

It's an animation type. rotatex or something like that. You do a conditional animation with the condition as true (i.e. always applied).

See the PM3 coverflow stuff for a rotate about y axis, and modify accordingly.

Cheers,

Thanks Jonathan, I'll take a look.

<animation effect="rotatex" start="180" end="180" time="0" center="[bottom of the panel]" condition="true">conditional</animation>

Does that give it the 'mirror' looking effect then? Huh
