@Jochen Well, you seem to be the first person who claims about viruses, let me assure you that there are none (tested with Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0) .. Why don't you try this newer version, you're still welcome to post your review ..

Thanks for the software examples. But both zips are infected with viruses (Trojans).

Hi Ahmed.

Gre8 work. I am working on a project which has 9 languages and all are from LTR except Arabic. So, I tried your code. However, it’s not supporting html tags such as “”, etc. Could you please help me on this.

==============

====================
It would be gre8 if you can help me on this. Keep it up and good luck.

Tanwin is not rendering properly.
Can you let me know the solution for that as well.

I’ve published my new patched version here http://blog.janjonas.net/2010-04-26/actionscript-2-bugfixes-arabic-parsing-part2 (this version includes the fix for Latin characters at the beginning of the string).

Geekgril: The line
tag.data = input;
has no impact on the algorithm. You could delete the line and everything should work as before. Saving the input to the property “data” enables you to refer the original input string with myTextField.data (myTextField.text contains the string that is modified by the parser to be rendered from right to left).

Ahmad,

That sounds very promising. I shall hold my horses for now and wait -eagerly- to see what your new implementation

All the best

@geekgirl

I think the bi-directional issue brought the algorithm to a fairly complicated status, I am working on different work-around to handle bi-directional wrapping with proper Arabic direction and possible HTML tags as well ..
The new approach should reduce performance, I will share that with you in AS2/AS3 within the next few days ..
Many thanks to you both for your thorough reviews for bringing this to perfection ..
