Vertical text?

How would I go about creating vertical text in Corona? I tried:

local advanceTxt = display.newText("A\nD\nV", 278, 203, native.systemFont, 15)

This doesn't affect the text at all. I dont want to rotate the text but to "stack" letters on top of eachother.

Example:          A
                  D
                  V 
                  A                     Thanks in advance,
                  N                     Dacri Burdan
                  C
                  E

local myString = "advance"
local len = string.len(myString)
local textArr = {}
for i=1,len do
        local str = string.sub(myString,i,i)
        textArr[i] = display.newText(str,0,0,nil,24)
        textArr[i].x = display.contentWidth * 0.5
        textArr[i].y = 25 * i
        str = nil
end

Thanks a ton!! It worked great!

glad it helps
