I'd start by ensuring you have the Greek framework resources setup for Flex (see: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions:_Runtime_Localization#Huh.3F_French_framework_resources.3F). It's possible that pasting works because you are pasting in UTF-8 characters but typing won't because Flex expects the locale to be whatever it was when you started the app.
I used the linked article to setup a localized app (in English, French and German so far) and it was an invaluable resource. Also, the Mac equivalent of Windows' Alt-Shift is Option-Shift. In AIR the key code is the same: Keyboard.ALTERNATE. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Fotis Chatzinikos <fotis.chatzini...@...> wrote: > > To clarify a bit more I am interested in ALT-SHIFTing (in windows - what is > needed on a Mac) into a different language than the default.
