Hi All,
anyone know if it is possible to use double-byte text in a ContextMenuItem caption? I've tried and get "??????" in the place of the arabic text i'm attempting to show in the context menu.
Any advice much appreciated,
Sinead.

Anyone know a workaround? I can testify that this issue exists, and is making "real" multilingual application development difficult. I've attempted all CJK languages and have exhausted my ability to hack around this.

If there is a definitive answer on whether or not this is supported within the Flash player, or if it is a simple case of seeing this issue on an EN-US XP machine, and the "fix" is to view this output on a machine specific to the languages in question, please let me know.
