Arabic fonts are not supported - Help!

There are two things to note here: 1st You need to make sure that the font you embeed in your template accually supports Arabic and 2nd: That you embedd also the arabic glyphs. Then it works like a charm.

Am not a developer actually
Will you be able to guide me or to send an example ?
Thank you

My arabic templates are all copyright protected, so I should not give them out. But I can guide you a bit: If you right click in Animates library pane you can create a new Font. Then a dialog opens where you can select the font and style to embedd:

It’s from e German version but looks very similar in other languages. There were the red circle is select “ALL” or at least “Arabic”. I normally always select “All” as in Caspar the size of the final template is not SO important and the good thing is, that you have all the alphabeths that are present in the font.

Thanks for the info
I normally export the project to caspercg as png sequence is that also right ?

You mean, you import it in Animate as PNG sequence? What does that have to do with text not beeing displayed?

Still not showing, i can see the arabic text in the design, but not on Casper CG, and the arabic is also selected in the library

Post your .fla (and .as if you have one) file.

its not letting me upload FLA file here

i uploaded FT does this help?
thanks

CG Test.ft (636.1 KB)

No the ft does not help. So you have any Dropbox or similar thing were you can upload?

there you go both files

There were no dynamic texts in the template. The PNG sequence does NOT know how to render text. So I quickly added anything for you to test. Don’t use that in production IT IS UGLY! or I will never help you again :slight_smile:

What is also problematic, is, that from the point were the “outro” starts there is a lot of unnecessary frames until anything starts to move. Export only the parts were movement is and set the stop frame after the graphic is come to be fully “in” and then, from the stop frame it should only move out. I put the two texts inside a movieclip. You see that by inspecting the library pane. You can double click the movieclip to edit it’s content…

Thank you so much for your help, now half of the problem is solved, despite the fact that it showed that i was using dynamic text :frowning:

the problem now is that the Arabic text is not showing properly the letters are disconnected

any idea? disconnected

As I am swiss and have no idea about arabic, I don’t know. Probably the font is bad or the spaceing of the letters. But as I said: Don’t use this of anything other than to guide you the way. So change the font and position and animation etc.

Hi,
My experience with the CS version Flash very good, and there is no problem without scripting skills for simple projects.

I have changed the type of the text field from classic text to TLF text . Advance action script setting -->Library path–>-->Text layout–>Link type–> Merged into code

HTML templates don’t have that problem.

Then it works!
Thank you.
Had to change to TLF text and the advance action script setting.
