Flaraby2 beta

Flaraby2 beta: For right-to-left scripts (Arabic, Hebrew, etc) in Flash Player. I'm not in a position to test it, but wanted to spread the word. More discussion at NewHive... thanks to Ahmad for the link.

well, I guess it works for Arabic, but it didn't for Hebrew. Probably since Ahmad didn't embed the Hebrew fonts. Anyway - is there any RTL embedding in the future flash product?

Thanks, JD.

It's actually an Arabic ONLY solution, NOT RTL. Sorry but there is already the Flashrtl Project, and I think it would support Hebrew too.

Flaraby2 focus on "Arabic" wordwrap, bidirectional (Arabic & English in the same textField) support and html tags (limited to a,font,u and img)

As far as I know, Arabic is the most difficult language to handle online, and I think other languages won't be that hard.
