It's worth a try, and make for a lighter download than using graphics. But--won't the e-mail address be ltr? I'm not sure, but I think most e-mail servers only handle ltr. I have an Israeli friend in Dublin who is a Flash genius, and is currently working on a Hebrew-language project. She's quite helpful, and knows a lot more about bi-di issues than I do I don't think she's on this list, though--she's on Flash_Tiger. You might try posting over there. She might even still be working--I think it's only about 7:00 in Dublin. Do it now, though, because St. Patrick's day is this weekend ^_^ Cordially, Kerry Thompson _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
