Re: [Flashcoders] Hebrew input
So I gather I first need to embed my font (let's Verdana) and implement some sort of RTL script. Ok, thanks for your input.

That's the key point. If you look back over several posts of mine on this list, you'll see that when using embedded fonts, you're in much more control than non-embedded. Without embedding, you're at the mercy of the browser and OS, and the result is that you really have no idea what will show up (quite aside from the question of whether your end-user will be able to see anything at all). Unfortunately, embedding means that you definitely *won't* get RTL for free. Fortunately, if you're working with Hebrew rather than Arabic, the RTL algorithm is reasonably simple so you may find you can manage it by hand (it's less simple if you're allowing Bidirectional text, but still manageable). You could also try FlashRTL, which is pretty good but doesn't include any solutions for input.

[Flashcoders] Hebrew input
Hi, I'm building an application that requires users to be abe to type in almost any language. It has basically two types of fields: 1 input and 2 dynamic fields. I was able to get things working in the Flash IDE where I could type in hebrew and any other language and got correct output in the dynamic fields. However, once uploaded Internet Explorer did some strange things behind the scene but I was able to type in hebrew. In firefox I wasn't able to type in hebrew at all. Both browser did output the hebrew correctly in the dynamic fields. I'm not embedding any font; just Verdana is used as a font. Any suggestions or directions where I should be looking to?

I couldn't agree more. On 5/7/07, Steven Sacks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Spiderman 3: So bad, I have to post OT on Flashcoders to warn my colleagues to avoid it at all costs. Never see Spiderman 3. Ever. Go your whole life without seeing it. It might be the worst movie ever made. Seriously. It was unbelievable how bad it was. Of the people who did not walk out, a huge amount booed at the end (myself included). Many people walked out. I felt I should have, too, and I have never walked out of a movie. The theater was packed at the beginning and maybe 2/3 full at the end. There were more scenes than I can count where you could hear the whole audience groaning at how ridiculously stupid it was. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com -- Pieter Michels ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
