Hi Dave
I've done quite a few muiltilanguage sites, including Chinese and
Korean. The way I've tackled this in the past is to load the fonts
from an external SWF at run-time, using shared runtime libraries. It's
a bit of a roundabout method, and if a single part of the process is
not done correctl

Can you get by with just the Level 1 characters? I'm guessing you probably
can. Those 5,000+ characters are probably enough, unless you're doing
something really specialized.
I'd think so, but it doesn't seem to be the case. In my interface for
example, I need to support Chinese simplified and

I think that is a standard font--it's installed on my Vista system--but it
doesn't have Hangul (Korean) characters.
We should probably be aware of the terminology we're using--glyph and
character aren't interchangeable. A character--take the Ro
namic text has
to be embeded in these circumstances

Except I am embedding, so I can anti-alias. I'm not sure how I could embed
all the other glyphs and have the chinese still render at all.

It's essential that you use a Unicode font--I use Arial Unicode for Asian
languages, because it has all the languages I typically need. Embed the
font, of course.

Hi,
Look at using the "Strings Panel" - it's in FL8, probably in CS3.
This lets you attach an ID to all your text fields, etc. and define
languages in XML. The help has more in depth stuff about this, but that
is a good start.
You may also want to ensure all your translation is done
Hi Dave,
I would ask the designer to put all the text in dynamic textFields
(and fill them w3ith dummy text).
You can than adress these TextFields and fill them with text from a
database at runtime, depending on a 'language' flag.

Tahoma works for Windows machines too. Again, you have
to use device fonts, or else your swf is going to be

Arial Unicode MS font covers almost the whole Unicode 2.1 character
ranges, but it is more than 20MB. It the size matters then use device
fonts.
