Hi, We understand the need for RTL/Bi-Di text and want to get this into the Flash Player as soon as possible. However, it is not in the upcoming release, so it will be some time before this can happen. Please don't make any plans assuming we will be able to make it work.
I know this is unfortunate for a number of uses of Flex and we want to fix it. But it is a significant engineering change to the Flash Player and we can't just "squeeze it in". I can't make any predictions yet about when we will get it in, but for your planning purposes certainly please do not expect it in the next 12 months. :( Regards, David Macromedia > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jruud68 > Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 3:51 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: BiDi/right-to-left support in Flex > > Gordon, we are developing a prototype of an application that > would run on a number of different languages, including RTL > languages (arabic is likely the most urgent).
