RE: Director MX & Azeri (Latin) on a Windows machine

Hi guys, Unfortunately we're still on D9, and we are unlikely to upgrade at this stage. Furthermore, there's a fair bit of re-engineering required in order to convert all text members to Flash sprites. What we've decided to do is offer a non-Director playback. In our (Director-based) authoring

Hi guys, First of all thanks for the suggestions - much appreciated! Roymeo, you're correct - the target audience will be Azeri, and although I suspect the machines will be in English they should be able t odisplay Azeri. I have tried the suggestions that you and Daniel mentioned, but to no ava

RE: Director MX & Azeri (Latin) on a Windows machine

Hi Daniel, We've got the problem in the office with Win2000 SP4 and XP SP1 & SP2. I think the target machines are XP, but I'm not sure (no control over it). The only time where I've seen it working was on Win2000, where we copied the text from Word and pasted it in Flash MX2004 Pro - without an

[x-post] A Common Question - Director & XML/Web Services

Hi all, We currently have a few application made with Director MX & INM's V12 database. As there is more pressure for centralising data (in a cost effective manner), we need to look at using XML/Web Services for a better interoperability, whilst keeping the Director front-end. Unfortunately, I c
