[flexcoders] Re: BiDi/right-to-left support in Flex
Gordon, we are developing a prototype of an application that would run on a number of different languages, including RTL languages (arabic is likely the most urgent). The lack of RTL support may be a deal-breaker, but it would be helpful if we could tell our potential customer that RTL support is coming (and give them as much information about it as possible).

this has been requested in every version of the flash player recently and i am not expecting it in the next release either :( On 5/17/05, jruud68 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gordon, we are developing a prototype of an application that would run on a number of different languages, including RTL languages (arabic is likely the most urgent).

RE: [flexcoders] Re: BiDi/right-to-left support in Flex
Hi, We understand the need for RTL/Bi-Di text and want to get this into the Flash Player as soon as possible. However, it is not in the upcoming release, so it will be some time before this can happen. Please don't make any plans assuming we will be able to make it work. I know this is unfortunate for a number of uses of Flex and we want to fix it. But it is a significant engineering change to the Flash Player and we can't just squeeze it in. I can't make any predictions yet about when we will get it in, but for your planning purposes certainly please do not expect it in the next 12 months. :( Regards, David Macromedia -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jruud68 Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 3:51 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: BiDi/right-to-left support in Flex Gordon, we are developing a prototype of an application that would run on a number of different languages, including RTL languages (arabic is likely the most urgent).
