Borna, This might belong more in the flexcoders, however, since you are going to have a lot of component customization on your hands to solve this, let me respond here.
As you know in Flash player 9 and below, RTL is not supported. More importantly though BiDi text is not. If it were merely an RTL problem it would be much easier to solve. You will face several large problems. First, RTL text can be displayed in a textField or textArea, however, when you attempt to edit it, this all breaks down. There is no support for proper wrapping, positioning of the cursor or modifications of characters in line. The official position on this is that it is not supported, however, you can overlay HTML textareas and textinputs over the application using javascript. This works easily in a small application, but becomes very complicated quickly when one has multiple nested containers that need to clip correctly and interact with the app. Speaking of clipping, this is another major concern. While you extend most of the components, with varying degrees of difficulty, to support the requisite flipping of control bars and labels, text is always clipped on the right hand side. So when your text is too long for a dataGrid column, for example, it becomes very difficult to ensure it clips the left hand side. We worked on this issue in Flex 1.5 and 2.0. It is not an easy one to even mostly solve, and, if at all possible, I would suggest waiting until the support is there in the player.
