I haven't tried it with Korean Director, but I've gotten it to work with Japanese Director. Can you build a projector with the Japanese version? Did the correct characters show up in the IME, and then appear incorrectly in Director? Taiwanese Windows probably uses Big-5 encoding. Are your fonts Big-5, or perhaps GB encoded? Or maybe Unicode--that probably won't work. Director doesn't support Unicode, as you undoubtedly know, nor do Flash sprites in Director. Is your text or field sprite set to use the Chinese font? Have you tried it with a system font? You wrote the words all as one in your post. Did you enter them that way? Or did you try entering the syllables separately, e.g. wei shen me? And, are you sure you got the right tones? Wei4 shen2 me. Those are the things that occur to me. Sorry to grill you on some admittedly basic things. Let me know, and I'll see what I can figure out.
