Dear all

Tell me please, how I can use TLM features to write in armenian in Captivate text fields.

Is it possible?

Text layout framework

I'm afraid that Unicode input issues can't be solved at the level of TLF or Flex... they are due to a Player-level problem with 'textInput' events. I know that the Player team is aware that the current Player doesn't handle Unicode input properly, and they have committed to fixing this in a future version of the Player. However, the date of that release has not been determined.

BTW, if you run on an Armenian system, or set the OS codepage to Armenian, does Armenian input work?

The forum isn't letting me download your attachment -- it says "queued" and I'm not sure what that indicates -- so I'm not clear on whether you're using the Text Layout Framework in some product or expecting Armenian to work in some non-TLF-based product.

What exactly do you mean by a "textframe"?

The new Spark components in Flex 4 (now available in beta) are implemented using TLF. I tried the following application

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:Application

xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" >

<s:TextInput text="ԱԲԳ" fontSize="30"/>

</s:Application

and it displayed the Armenian characters.

Yes, it does show them if you set the field value like you did, or even copy-paste it from another application. Problem is when you are trying to type Armenian Unicode characters, it shows question marks. Setting field values was working properly even for Flash Player 8, and i was hoping after some conversations that TLF will solve that input issue.

When you use TLF to display or enter Armenian, does it work correctly with any other fonts? If so, then it sounds like Sylfaen may not have Armenian glyphs. Or, if you can use Sylfaen in TLF to display Armenian but when you type you only get ?, then it sounds like there is a Unicode input problem.

Actually, i've try serveral fonts, such as Sylfaen or Arial Unicode. Both have armenian subset in them.

If i paste a text into textframe, it shows everything properly, but if i would type it it shows questionmarks. Thats something we've facing in earlier versions of flash, or CF generated Flash forms.

I've attached a screenshot so you can see what it look like.

Thanks,
