Re: FLASH: other character sets - like Chinese

[Neil Weinberg]

Ernie,


What platform are you on - Mac or PC?


Mac OS 9 comes with language kits. They are not installed automatically, but

you can install them from the OS 9 CD.  Once you install the Chinese

language kit, you can enter Chinese characters seamlessly into virtually any

application including FLASH.  The Chinese characters will be treated just

like text and appear anti-aliased in your published movie.


If you're on PC, you will need to buy a separate Chinese language

application.  I am a Ph.D. student in Chinese literature and most of my

colleagues on PCs use TwinBridge. However I use a Mac, so I can't speak from

personal experience. I think it sells in the US for about $150-200.


If you want to see an example, go to
