Demo.Flash MX: Tamil in a Flash - Sample guest book in Tamil and English.
As I promised in my previous post I've developed a sample application. Today is Tamil New Year so I thought it is the right day to launch this tool. Even though it is not fully optimized, it is functional to demonstrate the concept.
This is a simple guest book which allows to put your comments in both English and Tamil. I'm using roman keyboard for enabling Tamil.
Just have a look and post your comments right there!!!

News.Flash MX: Bringing in Languages to Flash.
Embedding fonts in flash removes the hassle of font download and installation
on the viewers machine, which is of great use when we publish multilingual content
on the web.
What if we can develop an application in flash which enables typing in different
languages using phonetic keyboard layout?
Especially Indian languages and Chinese languages use external software to configure
the keyboard for this purpose.
Just think about the possible uses, we can develop,
- content manageable web sites, blogs, and forums in our own language
- multilingual chat applications
- online mailing tool for sending mails in other languages (even as picture)
- multilingual CD-ROM and online games to accept input in different languages
I started thinking like this long back and started developing a tool for typing
in Tamil six months back. It got dragged because of my tight schedule. Finally
I managed to finish it now and I will publish a sample application to demonstrate
the uses soon!

Code.Flash MX: MovieClip-swapClip.
When we need to replace a movie clip on stage with another with a Linkage ID the following code will be useful.
MovieClip.prototype.swapClip = function(idName) {
var obj = {
_x:this._x,
_y:this._y,
_xscale:this._xscale,
_yscale:this._yscale,
_rotation:this._rotation,
_visible:this._visible,
_alpha:this._alpha,
idName:idName
};
this._parent.attachMovie(idName, this._name, this.getDepth(), obj);
}
ASSetPropFlags(MovieClip.prototype, ["swapClip"], 1);
Usage:
my_mc.swapClip("MyLinkageID");
//MovieClip instance named my_mc will be replaced by another clip.
