Dear guys at Adobe.

Since your purchase of Macromedia I was apprehensive about the future of Macromedia Flash. Several Issues regarding the representation, collation, encoding, and display of Malayalam Unicode Text in Flash MX2004. These issues were not Addressed in Flash 8 either and have continued to remain.

In my last communication with Mr. Masanori Oba I have explained in some detail regarding these Issues. I am pasting the thread again here for your review.

Please let us know if these issues are being addressed.

Thank you


Nishad Hussain Kaippally
