With Flash MX and the Flash 6 plug-in, we finally have unicode support in Flash. This makes it a viable tool to display text in languages other than English, including all Euro-languages with accents, Middle Eastern right-to-left scripts and many Asian Languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc. It also helps to make dynamic text, with HTML, in Flash a more appealing visual aid to our designs since we can use bullets, arrows and symbols more creatively. Hence Unicode opens up a new door for graphic design with Type as well. |
