Okay, I know this area has been visited a few times (and I've touched on it several times recently) but I'd just like to see if anyone knows the current state of the art.
As far as I can see, there is no really decent RTL component available out there. Everything seems to be output-only. I'd like to create an RTL input field that can: Allow both typing and setting text dynamically through code Allow pasting in of text from external files and from within itself or other Flash fields Deal with backspace/delete Handle BiDi text Is there such a thing out there? If not, my current plan is: - set a listener for textChanged - when typing, manually move the selection to the left of the inserted text unless it's part of the Western char set (I'm not planning to support Arabic and Greek in the same field!) - when deleting, undo the delete and manually delete in the appropriate direction But this is going to fail for pasting from external apps. We can live with it, but... Any suggestions from others who have tried it?
