The fonts are coming through fine. I have all the characters I need embedded in the library (using Arial Unicode MS). Characters display properly. It's the order of words in the XML file that I'm having a problem with.

Thanks for any help. Much appreciated.

Here we usually dont embed the text in the textfield, and grab the text from XML or you when you embed the font with code, include all the unicode codes of the arabic chars you need. And do use fonts that support Arabic like Arial, Verdana and i think Times New Roman

OK... I think I've reached the end of the internet as well as the end of my patients.

I've been trying to figure out a way to take translations that I've received in an Excel spreadsheet and paste them into an XML document. The XML is UTF-8 and it's plain text (of course). No matter what editor (Flex Builder 3, Dreamweaver, Text Edit, WordPad, NotePad, Word, etc.) or OS (OSX 10.4, Windows XP) or combination of the two, it seems that when I try to combine the eastern translation with western markup (XML tags, or even western characters for that matter), as soon as I drop in a single character, if flips the orientation of the translated Arabic text?!?

Everything that I find on the internet leads me hopeful down a path of ultimate disappointment. I know that I'm not the only one with this problem and I'm sure one of you has experienced this. Please let me in on you secrets. I beg you...

Let me just clarify—My problem is not font related (I've got that all sorted out), and for the most part it's not really Flash related (except for the fact that I'm using this XML content for dynamic text fields). this list is probably not the proper place for this question, but I'm out of options and I thinking that I'm going to have to scrap some of the digging I've done in relation to getting text to display properly and make alterations to my application to load images instead of live type.

Somebody... Anybody.... Help a brotha out!
