Displaying Arabic in a flash site..

[partyman]

So I get told a client wants their flash site in different languages. No problem boss! Just have to add in a few extra variables and off you go!

Then I find out they want Arabic!

Anyone got any idea if it's possible to embed Arabic into flash? And if so how much of an arse is it?

Thanks in advance.

isn't it as hard as embedding any other font? I.e. you just select the glyphs that are requred and then they're set within the movie upon production?

maybe..

Good luck trying to proof read it though :-)

It turns out Flash currently has no support for Arabic or other right to left reading languages, should be in Flash 9 though...

oh, never mind.

I figured you'd be doing the glyph thing but it was worth a mention.

u in full time employment?
