Hi Everyone,

We’re recently been asked to do an Arabic version of a flash presentation we’d done earlier in English. We’re facing problems inserting the arabic text within flash and animating it. After having tried a few things we’re wondering if this is possible at all.

Couple of things we’ve tried and the problems we’ve encountered are:

1. on pasting the text within flash the text direction is incorrect. i.e. it doesn’t retain it’s right-to-left property. So we end up with a reverse image.

2. to solve this we inserted the text using dynamic text(not sure if there’s an easier way) but we now need to add a fadein fade out effect to this text. Any ideas how we could add effects to dynamic text.

Any help on how we could work on arabic text within a flash presentation would be immensely useful.

Thanks in Advance  
Cheers
