Hi Tracy, Are you using Safari browser under Mac OS 10.6?
If yes, then probably you are victim of the following bug "Can't enter cyrillic symbols" https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-3213 http://www.openradar.appspot.com/7395808 -- Best regards, Andriy Panas 2009/12/1 Andriy Panas <a.pa...@gmail.com>: > Hi Tracy, > I am afraid your code sample is too generic and will not help me to isolate > your issue. > Me as a native speaker that uses Cyrillic alphabet had never seen any > problems with displaying Cyrillic alphabet symbols in <mx:TextArea>, but > this remain valid only for Windows OS, never tried Mac OS. > I see that you're running Flash Player at Mac and had created the > issue https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-24484 at Adobe JIRA bug-base, > let move the discussion over this issue to Adobe JIRA. > You should try as many Flash player dot versions as possible to test this > issue, e.g 9.0.115, 9.0.246, 10.0.32.18 etc because we are talking here not > about Flex SDK, but about Flash player features. > -- > Best regards, > Andriy Panas > > > > 2009/12/1 polestar11 <polesta...@yahoo.com> >> >> >> >> Hi there >> >> It is the mx:TextArea: >> <mx:TextArea width="200" y="20" x="20" /> >> >> Here is a code snippet: >> <mx:Box width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center" >> verticalAlign="middle"> >> <mx:ViewStack id="viewStack" width="100%" height="100%" selectedIndex="1"> >> <component:MainPanel id="mainPanel" width="100%" height="100%" />--> >> <mx:VBox width="100%" id="progressView" height="100%" >> horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle"> >> <mx:ProgressBar height="15" indeterminate="true" label="Initializing >> ChessCube ..." fontSize="14" /> >> </mx:VBox> >> </mx:ViewStack> >> </mx:Box> >> <mx:TextArea width="200" y="20" x="20" /> >> >> The textarea works for special characters in debug mode, but not in >> release build mode.
