Hi,
(Using CS3 publishing to FP8 with Windoze).
Slightly OT, but I am working with Arabic text in Flash and trying
to paste from an XLS spreadsheet (viewing with OpenOffice) to an XML
file. I then load this file into Flash and extract some of the node
contents to use as text in dynamic text fields. Because Flash does not
deal with RTL very well in older players, I am not embedding the font /
turning it off for the Arabic language.
When I view the spreadsheet, I am guessing that the word and letter
order is correct (comparing to Google Translate it is), but when I paste
from the spreadsheet to my XML file, the order of letters is reversed
and subsequently appears incorrectly in Flash. Checking the trace of
the XML contents, the extracted text and looking at the text field on
stage, all of these contain reversed text. I opened my file in Notepad
and saved as UTF-8, but still no joy.
- with the text fields, I am turning off font embedding with AS and
even creating a brand new text field - to no avail...
Does anyone have any tips on what to use for creating the XML from
my spreadsheet - via copy & paste etc. I have tried Notepad, Notepad++,
FlashDevelop and Bonodi XML editor so far all with the same results...
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Glen
