FlashEff and Thai Font

Hello Group,

i want to use FlashEff2 with Textfield & embedded Thai Font. In Thai language one letter can consist of two Elements (under the letter or upon the letter can be a sign (vocal) which is important for pronounciation). As soon as I apply the effect to the textarea the Vocal-signs disappear until the hideEffect begins. Then I can see them, but disappearing. Is there a chance to get it work?

With best regards
Harry

For the records. I made it. I use the TRANSITION_START and TRANSITION_END events. When the showeffect ends I overwrite the same Text with another Textfield (now with the vocals). Short before Start of Hideeffect I remove the "shadow"-textfield from the stage:

myEff2.addEventListener(FLASHEFFEvents.TRANSITION_END, transition_end);
myEff2.addEventListener(FLASHEFFEvents.TRANSITION_START, transition_start);


private function transition_end(evt:FLASHEFFEvents):void
{
if (bThaiWordBuilding)
{
bThaiWordBuilding=false;
tfShadow = new TextField();
tfShadow = createTextField(....);
con.addChild(tfShadow);
return;
}

private function transition_start(evt:FLASHEFFEvents):void
{
if (!bThaiWordBuilding)
con.removeChild(tfShadow);
}

With best regards
Harry

Unfortunately there isn't any fix for this problem. What we recommend for special characters is to use symbol effects instead of text effects.
