Hi, In theory I agree with YBA;
However, IF the need is raised, it shouldn't be a problem to locate the exact point to fix: the FLASH code which is generated by OOo is Action- Script code (as any FLASH code), which is JavaScript with some minor differences. I believe that the JavaScript knowledge of Shosh should be enough to take some examples of ActionScript outputs of OOo, find what should be changed in them to make them BiDi correct, and send the conclusion to Hamburg. >From this point, it is a piece of cake for Hamburg to fix the FLASH generation code, so the correct ActionScript will be generated, rather than the current code. So please keep in mind that ONCE this need becomes CRITICAL (probably not soon...), we have the way to resolve it.
