Well the most thing i used is importing arabic written text from freehand (converted to vectors) and it is just fine... Regarding writing it in dynamic text boxes at runtime like this:
myTextField.text "ولا حاجة" it works.... but you still have to take care about text wrapping as in flash doesnt recognize the end of a word, and so, in multi line cases, sometimes a single word splits.. i used to solve this problem by adding some extra spaces before the last word in a single line... and the same by parsing text from a metadata in xml... Hope this helps.... regards... On 3/29/07, Shaun Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've worked with Arabic in Flash and yes those are the exact problems I experienced. There is an application that will allow you to cut and paste arabic to other applications without destroying the format. It won't work if you're looking for a dynamic solution - if anyone knows of one that would be great. http://www.layoutltd.com/alrassam.php There are arabic fonts you can use in flash but that still doesn't solve the problem of getting the arabic into flash in the right format if you are cutting and pasting. Hope that helps some. --- Omar Fouad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I work A lot using arabic in flash...
