@Edwin

It works, here is an example:

import TextField.StyleSheet;
import com.xvisage.utils.StringUtils;
var utils:StringUtils = new StringUtils();
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
style.load("arabic.css");
style.onLoad = function(done:Boolean) {
	if (done) {
		var styleObj:Object = style.getStyle(".arabic");
		var tf:TextFormat = style.transform(styleObj);
		output.htmlText = utils.parseArabic(myString, output, tf);
	}
};

Where “arabic.css” contains:

.arabic {
	font-family:Traditional Arabic; /*do not use single or double quotes around the font-family value ..*/
	font-size:20px;
}

And you need to use the most recent version available here

I can’t seem to change the fontsize of the text – am I missing something? I’ve tried with textformat as shown in the example, but I really want to use a stylesheet. No matter what I try, the text comes out the same small size. Here’s part of my code:

var arabTxt:String = utils.parseArabic(myString);

pageTitleTF = bg_pageTitle_mc.createTextField(“pageTitleTF”, bg_pageTitle_mc.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 1, 1);
pageTitleTF.autoSize = “right”;
pageTitleTF.embedFonts = true;
pageTitleTF.styleSheet = appObj.getDisplayStyleSheet();

pageTitleTF.text = “” + arabTxt + “”;

Thanks a lot for the library.This has made our life much easier. I want to use this but the problem that i am facing is total size of my application. I am using multiple flash swf that is loaded on-demand.Currently i have embedded font in all the movies and able to deliver arabic content.

But I want to embed that font in the base movie and want others to share (with linkage) the embeded font.

Do you see any issue with this?

If possible, Can you please give a sample on the same?
