TLF support

Hi all
Does Flash eff, supports or intend to support the Text Layout Framework in either Flex or flash?
thanks
Yariv

Yariv,

The current version of flasheff does not supports TLF and right now I can not tell you very sure if the future version will support that kind of textfield . Most probable the component needs to be built almost from scratch in order to support Text Layout Framework.

Hi Florin
just as a general note, all i can advise you is to re-consider your strategy
think about all of the non Latin speakers and their local languages needs
think about the size of market you renounce for technicalities
i can tell you from a Hebrew speaker point of view, we have been waiting for years
until Adobe came up with it's complete solution offering full and true support
for all languages with all character sets, and bi-directional features
it would be a great miss on your behalf not to take advantage of this welcome change
but then again, it's just my 2 cents...

soliton,

Please not that the FlashEFf2 flash version already supports hebrew characters. However thank you for your suggestion. I will pass it to my colleagues that plans and develops our components.

fair enough
i will look into the flash support more closely
thank you for taking it into account

Hey Florin!
i must agree with Yariv on this one...
you are truly missing out on a giant market.
We would love for a TLF supported version to be released (to support hebrew) !!!
Please take it into consideration.

Thanks,
ZD.

Dear Florin
I checked the flash version
In Right to left languages, the issues are not showing the characters, this works fine with character embedding
the issue is the direction of the flow of text and bi-directional support for mixed right-to-left and left-to-right in the same text block
also the order of lines gets confused in ordinary texts when using Hebrew or Arabic based languages
also the character selection is impossible.... and more....
we have been dealing with this issue for years as i said, and it can not be resolved in regular dynamic textfields with embedded fonts.
the only thing which solves it is the new TLF text framework & components, both in flash and in Flex
please do your best to influence a product development which supports it
thank you
Yariv
