You can have more info and download a free lite version from here: http://www.arabicode.com/flaraby/ Thank you. Hi,

This is something that Adobe are looking into. No components or anything you can use yet.

Could any one give us more info for these components, and how to use them ?? thabx 4 all Yes, at last you did it Adobe, now I can use it to make my new chat application, it will be used with Arabic users.

This is fantastic news! I've been waiting for something like this to drop for a while now. I really do hope they can get hardware acceleration in Flash Player 10 which would really make Flash 100% Feature Complete ( at least until Flash Player 11... lol ). Thanks for posting!

But right now may not be the best time to speak of it... script-direction is a huge area, with many surprising demands, and is particularly tricky across operating systems. I think we'll need to wait for the first implementation to see what we've actually got. (Some languages mix RTL and LTR in the same text chunk... numerals are another situation with full bi-di... dealing with mixed languages in a chunk is another problem... ligatures and connections are another complicated area... then there's dynamic text and user-entered text as well. There's a whole range of problems in the general area of script direction, particular when working across varied levels of system-level support for such writing systems.) As David Mendels has said on the lists in the past, support for all writing systems within the universal Player has been desired internally for many years. I'm sorta happy that Matt had that little leak, and that Emmy confirmed it... it will be good to see some progress in this area. We'll still need to wait for a bit, to see what can actually be achieved, though. jd/adobe I’m glad you feel the same as me.
