Hello Samir,
i saw you posting on the adobe site about the xml flash lite slideshow. We are a little startup that is developing a new product that will take advantage of flash lite. we are looking for somebody that can help us pull together an experience prototype.
We have already all the web services. we need to have the flash movie go and read the updated XML and load the new content ( images+text) on the device and present them as slideshow.
let me know if you are interested or pass over some contact of people that may be interested.
thanks,
roberto
Samir,
Thanks for the great article on bidi text. I am still having problems with my situation. I am localizing several Flash pieces into Arabic. I have a translation doc with bidi text. When I copy and paste a string into a static text field in Flash it reverses the order of characters (as if it is forcing LtR from the bidi text). The only solution I can find is to change the orientation to vertical, right to left which forces the text into a vertical alignment. I then have to change the shape of the text field and set the column spacing to something like -10 to -15 to get it to look similar, but there are too many spacing issues. The good news is I just have headlines to translate, not large blocks of text (all single line). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Marco
Dear SAMIR,
I saw you posting on the adobe site about the “Creating bi-directional text in Flash Lite”…
that was so great… TanQ
A question!!! Can I do it in Adobe Flex or Flash just like your way in Flash lite?!
thanks again and again…
cheers

Hi BornA,
Yes the same principle can be applied i Flex and Flash. but the method is not suitable for too much content as it will consume runtime memory.

I must say I’m certainly impressed by your life ladder.
The way you have climbed up to get to your current position seems quite ecstatic.
It might be noticable to you by now how I landed on this page.

Hi Samir
I have the eBook version of Quick and Dirty Guide for Designers via Amazon and I would like to have the sample folder of FlipBook you mention in one of the chapters. Please can you let me know how I can get it?
Many thanks
