Can Flash CS5 do Arabic text correctly?

Get Adobe Flash player

After my new feature video was posted many Arabic speaking Flashers mentioned how the text that I showed didn’t look right. The problem was that the ligatures weren’t connecting properly. I have made a little demo using Flash CS5 below that I think fixes it. It is using Arial as a device font. If you can read Arabic please view and enter some text below and let me know if it looks right.

Thanks!
