Any solutions? This is old project and it seems that I can´t convert dynamic text fields to TLF fields, which migth help me out... so is there any reasonable solutions for creating dynamic text field with Right To Left hebrew text? Not only for loading text into it, users have to be able to input text as well...

The quick solution is,

*Download an arabic font,

*still use the text tool

*assign the arabic font to the text tool (but do not Embed the font to the text tool  <it will turn ltr again>).

*Assign an instance name

*fill the text you want on your code (AS2 or AS3).

There are few undocumented ways of doing it, but none of them work fully, what I've done during a project involving Hebrew Text (altough without user input) was reversing the content inside excel and pasting the reversed string into the xml feeding flash.

Apart from that, don't know how to fix it.

One thing I found out some years ago for use in HTML is that you shouldnot mix up Latin and Hebrew.

There is the option for rtl text in Flash I remember or I am mistaken?

Nope, not before Flash CS5 with TLF.

Hi,

I don't know the answer but I too am interested.

I suppose you use a database. Do you use MySQL and if so do you use UTF8?

I follow along and if I find time I will try to build something myself to find out.
