Hi Dave I've done quite a few muiltilanguage sites, including Chinese and Korean. The way I've tackled this in the past is to load the fonts from an external SWF at run-time, using shared runtime libraries. It's a bit of a roundabout method, and if a single part of the process is not done

I'm not sure about the actual code to instantiate, however make sure that the class you are creating is actually compiled in the first place. If it is not explicitly mentioned in your code somewhere it will not be compiled and will not be able to be created at run-time. jake On 26/07/07, Matt

Hi Jason If the number is coming out negative the most likely reason is that the numbers you are supplying do not make a triangle. (e.g. two sides are length 1 each and the third is 2 or more). I've tested your code and it does produce positive numbers for all valid triangles I've tried. Jake

Autosize doesn't work in multiline textfields. If you think about it, when you set autosize to true (or right or center) you are asking Flash to shrink the textfield to the smallest size possible to fit the text. This is fine in a single line textfield, but with a mulitline field Flash won't know
