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

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). The lack of RTL
support may be a deal-breaker, but it would be helpful if we
could tell our potential customer that RTL support is coming
(and give them as much information about it as possible).
Thanks, John

Are you
developing applications for these markets? Can you let us know
about the
demand for them, to help our player team judge the importance of
this
feature?

Subject: [flexcoders] BiDi/right-to-left support in Flex
I was just browsing through the code for mx:TextInput, trying to
figure out if it would be possible to add right-to-left
support to the
basic Flex input controls (like mx:TextInput). However, I
suspect
there is probably some reason why this wasn't just added to Flex in
the first place... Has anybody tried to implement this themselves,
and
did you have any luck?
Thanks, John
