Flash and right-to-left languages

Hi all! Does any one heard of some review or article about arabic in flash?

so, if I'm compiling to flash player 9, I must deal with flash.text.engine?

    Hi Forte Users,
    Could someone share with the group any experience they have regarding
    right-to-left languages like Arabic and such? Did someone find a good
    solution to this task?
    Thank-you very much!
    Take care,

    Thanks Patrick. The xml file is huge and I have read through it (more or less). Not that I could really detect any problem, as I am not sure what I am really looking for. The only thing that looked a bit dodgy is this
    <videoFormatOptions>********CYe****3bBkR4lYRaBk*******M***1zk***-FoQ57g*******N************44FmMLE** ***********************14BhNb7VQ5-g****IaBYNKA********************yQqJVPU****2** **0*********-JkQaxb*****E***************-IlBbUt*****E***********E****lkQqNm***** *****ZWNb7V******dhQ4Jn*******QO43mN*******************************0bBYPaI****** **</videoFormatOptions>
    Does that look right? All I have is a motion graphics sequence with RTL & LTR languages, is mainly animated text with some photos fading in and out. It is set to be widescreen format.
    I am not really sure what to do. I have managed to redo a section again (from start) but then Motion keeps on crashing on me. I think it does not like the combination of LTR and RTL languages.
    I can't uninstall and re-install now, as I am in the middle of 3 projects with Motion FCP.
    Oh boy, I am in trouble...

  • I have an iPad 2 with iworks, in pages and keynote I noticed it cuts the first letter on the right when I open an imported doc or ppt or even paste text from an email. I type in Hebrew (right to left language).

    How to solve?pages and keynote cut the first letter when opening an imported file from doc or ppt or even when pasting text to a new pages document.
    I write in Hebrew, which is a right to left language.
    Never got a warning that this apps do not work In my language. They are available in my country's AppStore and that was the reason I bought the iPad.
    Thank you,
    Diego

    All iWork apps, both for iOS and OS X, have always had bugs that make them unsuitable for RTL scripts for most purposes.  The only solution is to use something else.
    Also you can tell Apple you views here:

  • Pages v5.5.2 - Missing Option for right-to-left languages (bi-directional) such as Arabic & Kurdish

    Started using Pages as Windows for Mac does not support right-to-left languages (Kurdish, Arabic) effectively. BUT, sadly disappointed that Pages does not seem to support right-to-left (bi-directional) text either. I realise it gives you the option of aligning the text to the right-hand side but this is different from having the right-to-left option. Previous posts said it could be found under Format - Text and there should be the option 'Reverse Text Direction' (see related thread here) but in the version I have (v5.5.2) I can't see it.
    Please can anyone help? I'm having to seriously think about going back to Windows as Apple doesn't provide sufficient support for right-to-left languages.

    I've seen the notes you referred to before and so was looking for the 'arrows' button but it's not present in my version of Pages.
    I think perhaps something is wrong with your machine.  See below a picture of mine.  Do you have the Arabic or some other RTL keyboard showing in the "flag" menu at the top right?

  • Xcelsius Support for Right to Left languages

    Hi,
    I'm having issues with Xcelsius and the way it handles right to left languages such as Farci.
    The text is rendered properly in excel but once bound to a control (like a label) the text is displayed reversed or words are reordered.
    I'm using Xcelsius Version 5.1.3.0 (SP1 FP3)
    Just wondering if anyone else has had run into this issue... might keep a few brain cells of my keyboard.
    Hope to hear some suggestions.
    Regards,
    Scott

    As far as I know the number of bugs which all iWork apps have with RTL scripts has never decreased since they were released and continues to make them mostly unsuitable for Arabic/Hebrew.  I would not expect Lion by itself to change any of that.
    There is a fellow who has done a guide for doing Hebrew with Keynote:

  • Right to left Languages how do I setup it on my leopard?!

    Hi
    I bought a new macbook pro and I struggle to update right to left languages like Hebrew, this stiffen on me in the work the with Keynote Numbers ect'. someone can help?

    You activate the input for Hebrew and other languages by going to system preferences/international/input menu and check the right box, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder." Then you select Hebrew in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder and type.
    Unfortunately iWork and iWeb have various bugs with RTL languages. The best app to use is Mellel.

  • "Right-to-left" languages causing formatting change

    Inserting Hebrew words into an English paragraph using the input menu causes formatting to change. I don't really know how to describe it well, but some have only a few words before it skips to the next line, etc.
    For example, this line would be changed to something like
    these
    lines
    when I
    add a
    Hebrew word here שףךדלגכ.
    I've tried other languages, and it seems to do this with all "right-to-left" languages, i.e. Arabic, Hebrew.
    Any ideas?

    I've had the same problem - this is definitely something Apple engineers need to tackle before the next increment.... We've been waiting too long! I've had it occur in my paragraphs as well, after inserting a Hebrew or Arabic word in the midst of English text..... Only, instead of single words or short phrases, I've had several lines broken down into seperate
    l
    e
    t
    t
    e
    r
    s.
    Very odd. Not all is lost, however: I have found so far that I can have a complete paragraph in either Hebrew or Arabic - by itself, no English inclusions - and that will format well.....
    For what it's worth, I tried the composing in TextEdit before copying and pasting suggestion, but no go.... Really odd, as TextEdit seems to have no difficulty at all displaying the mixed directional formatting. Apple engineers take note: If TextEdit can do it, why can't Pages?!!

  • Right to Left languages- How does it work on iWeb?!

    Hello to all the experts!
    I'm trying to build an iWeb site in Hebrew, But when I publish... it's all wrong.
    How do I set the writing direction as right to left language?
    I already tried to "Align Right" on the Format >> Text.
    But it is not enough.
    Thank you.
    ASTELO

    When I use MAIL, I can easily choose: Format>> Alignment >> Writing direction.
    I'm looking for something like that...
    Could you provide your url, as I asked before? It is hard to know exactly what you are talking about without seeing it. There is no Writing Direction feature in iWeb or iWork apps, like you find in TextEdit or Mail. Is your problem that the characters are not in correct order, or that the paragraph formatting is not what you want, or you have mixed RTL/LTR and it is all botched up?
    iWeb is a poor app for hand editing html, because everything you add is erased whenever you republish. There are also separate Unicode characters which can be useful in some circumstances. See this page:

  • I have a new IMAC. My mouse (very sensible) gave me the possibility to move left to right and right to left and also to scroll on the vertical way also on my page word. I like the vertical way, it is ok, but is it possible to block the vertical move only

    Hi, I have a new IMAC. Only by touch, my mouse (very sensible) gave me the possibility to move left to right and right to left on my pages word and also to scroll on the vertical way. I am ok with the vertical way, but I don't like the very sensible horizontal way. Do someone know a way to block the vertical move only and keep the move of the horizontal way? The only way I found blocked all the moves.
    I hope my descripion is understandable... English is not my habitual language.
    Danielle

    Merci Éric de me revenir en français, je l'apprécie beaucoup. Je ne veux conserver que le mouvement de haut en bas et de bas en haut. Je ne vois pas l'utilité du mouvement horizontale (gauche-droite, droite-gauche) et pire encore, par mégarde je fais trop souvent bouger ainsi mon texte et cela m'embête, même me dérange  beaucoup. Même que cela me donne même mal au coeur hahahahahaha!
    Par contre, ma souris précédente avait le mouvement de défilement du haut en bas et bas en haut et cela par contre m'est très utile. Je voudrais donc savoir s'il existe un moyen de stopper le mouvement de côté mais conserver tout de même la fonction du mouvement haut-bas et bas-haut avec le simple toucher de la souris. Suis-je plus clair? Disons que c'est plus aisé pour moi en français. merci à toi

  • Can I typeset Chinese in InDesign CC? The text goes from top to bottom and right to left.

    Hi!
    Can I typeset Chinese in InDesign CC? I have downloaded the Chinese version of InDesign CC, but couldn't get the text to go from top to bottom and right to left. Do I need to download some sort of plug-in for this type of work?
    Thanks!

    There's little to nothing Adobe Reader can do about this.
    The free Adobe Reader cannot create PDF, cannot export PDF page content and cannot manipulate PDF page content.
    What is "on" a PDF reflects what was "printed" to PDF from back in the authoring file.
    It is within the authoring file where you must make adjustments.
    A related "source" issue is what label stock is specifically supported by the authoring application.
    While all vendors claim their stuff is alway the same as your stuff that is often not the case.
    A 1/64 th of an inch or less difference will put a wooden shoe in the works.
    Be well...

  • Reliably calculating character bounds for Right-To-Left languages using flash.text.engine.* classes?

    I just filed a bug in the Adobe bugbase about this, but I thought maybe the community could help with a workaround (or point me in another direction if I'm looking at it wrong).
    I don't know an elegant way to describe the defect, but it's something like this:
    Create a Vector of ContentElements and add a TextElement containing a right-to-left string in a language such as Hindi (ex. "वह बाग़ में दोपहर का खाना ")
    Create a TextBlock with a GroupElement and use it to create a TextLine to display the right-to-left string
    Walk through each character in the right-to-left string and try to calculate its boundaries using the TextLine's "getAtomBounds" method.
    What I'm seeing in my test project is that the number of characters (atoms?) the TextLine reports is fewer than the number of characters that were in the original string. I was under the impression that TextLine would offer some method of automatically converting from a logical character index into a display index (to keep things simpler for the end user). That doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't see any way to use TextLine's methods to do that conversion.
    Am I overlooking something obvious?

    Update: I was missing something obvious!
    It seems like TextLine's getAtomTextBlockBeginIndex and getAtomTextBlockEndIndex methods were exactly what I was looking for. It just took me a while to find them and realize that. So to convert from a logical (unicode) character index to a display (atom) index, you can do this...
    private function getCharBounds( charIndex:int ):Rectangle {
         for ( var childIndex:int = 0; childIndex < textContainer.numChildren; childIndex++ ) {
              var textLine:TextLine = textContainer.getChildAt( childIndex ) as TextLine;
              for ( var atomIndex:int = 0; atomIndex < textLine.atomCount; atomIndex++ ) {
                   var charIndexRangeStart:int = textLine.getAtomTextBlockBeginIndex( atomIndex );
                   var charIndexRangeStop:int = textLine.getAtomTextBlockEndIndex( atomIndex );
                   if ( charIndex >= charIndexRangeStart && charIndex <= charIndexRangeStop ) {
                        var rectangle:Rectangle =
                             textLine.getAtomBounds(
                                  atomIndex );
                        var point:Point =
                             textContainer.globalToLocal(
                                  textLine.localToGlobal(
                                       new Point( rectangle.x, rectangle.y ) ) );
                        rectangle.x = point.x;
                        rectangle.y = point.y;
                        return rectangle;
         return null;

  • Hi, does anyone know if the brand new Microsoft Word for iPad works with right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic? Thanks

    Hi, just got the Microsoft Word app on my iPad mini, great app in my opinion- just would like to know if anyone has a way to switch into right to left orientation just like Pages now has.
    So far the only way I could get this to work was by emailing myself a Hebrew document, erasing it all, and writing the new document in its place, which actually really worked, with true formatting and all. Thing is, I wouldn't sign myself up for 10 bucks a month for a half-baked workaround which Pages does perfectly. Otherwise, Word is awesome.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    I wonder if that means that the iPad Word is a port of the Windows Word with some formqtting options disabled. Just wondering.
    I think iPad Word is closer to Mac Word than Win Word.  Mac Word, for 13 years now, has been unable to create connected Arabic text, except on a Win Word doc with some Arabic already there.   I've never seen an explanation for this, but suspect it has something to do with Windows ability to embed fonts in such docs.  In any case, this work around still has enough bugs that I don't think it has ever been widely used.

  • Does the iBooks Author support Right-to-Left languages?

    Hi,
    I wish to know if the iBooks Author support languages which are written from Right to Left, such as Arab, and Hebrew.
    Moreover, can it show those foreign letters?
    Does it look okay, or unorganized?
    And another small thing - can you upload a textbook, written by yourself, to your iPad without having a developer account?

    iBooks Author can certainly display RTL scripts, but it has various bugs which make it unsuitable for composing them for many users.  There is no setting for text direction and cursor operation is broken, making editing extremely difficult.  Copy/paste may work sometimes, but iBooks has been reported to misplace characters and have other problems.

  • Direction in right to left languages

    Hi,
    When we switch the portal to Arabic the portal pages (for example portal builder pages) successfully shows the pages direction from right to left by adding <body dir="rtl"> at the top of the page.
    But when we create a new page this will not happen in Arabic language and the dir="rtl" is not added automatically to the top of these pages!
    Should we set any properties? Should we make any changes to the page template, style ...
    Thanks

    This is not the right forum for your question. Try to post it in the Portal General forum, or contact Oracle Support.

    After all this process, i see no change in the display of the tabstrip, nor in the" Browse Theme Database ".
    Is there something missing? Am i donig it in the right place?
    Thanks

    Pages has never supported RTL correctly since it was released a number of years ago.  It's been discussed many times in the forum for that app.  You should use Mellel (the best), TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice.  MS Word for Mac has never supported RTL at all.   To ask Apple for improvements for Pages, go to
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html
    Unfortunately Apple never provides info on when problems will be fixed.
    Other than Pages, support should be good:
    In Mail, check the Menu item Format > Alignment > Writing Direction
    For the OS in general, check System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources > Bidirectional Text
