    how did they get multi-language support so weird?
  • b
    i couldnt tell you, i think the text input in openfl is a little crazy... for the longest time you couldnt even type ñ into a textfield
  • b
    (its one of the main reasons why i moved away from openfl and haxeui2 became multi-framework)
  • b
    i just used lime's 
    onTextInput
    and 
    onKeyDown
  • b
    theres haxeui 2?
  • b
    well, haxeui is haxeui2 there was a previous version that was an openfl only lib
  • b
    ohh
  • b
    the thing that made me start with making flixel RTL is that i didnt understand where TextField got its input from and how it managed text input
  • b
    i dont really know either... im sure the openfl folks can help though, but last time i looked at all that it was years and years ago
  • b
    on flixel it was as easy as manipulating caretIndex and changing/overriding some functions
  • b
    for now ill try getting familiar with haxeui
  • b
    will probably update when the RTL flixel text input is done
  • b
    (hopefully in a week or so)
  • b
    cool - well, let me know if you get any problems
  • b
    so, just to confirm, you dont think its worth it to investigate a RTL option for haxeui, not text but actually reversing the layouts
  • b
    it is worth it, but we first need to adress the textInput
  • b
    agreed
  • b
    and display
  • b
    waitwaitwatiwait
  • b
    i just tried the text in one of the components and its completely RTL friendly
  • b
    it just needs one thing which i fixed before!
  • b
    its just an openfl text field
  • b
    so why was it so borked when i tried it?
  • b
    i just created a new TextField and reflected the RTL support:
    Copy code
    hx
var tf = arabic.getTextDisplay().textField;
var textLayout = new openfl.text._internal.TextLayout();
textLayout.direction = RIGHT_TO_LEFT;
textLayout.script = ARABIC;
Reflect.setField(Reflect.field(tf, "__textEngine"), "__textLayout", textLayout);
  • b
    i dont know enough about it, but i know its nothing to do with haxeui 🙂
  • i
    think I found a mini bug in haxeui-flixel text cursor, it doesn't match up to the font size
  • i
  • i
    with more time I can try to get the usual mini test case
  • b
    i think its an openfl bug tbh
  • b
    its been like that for me in openfl and flixel forever
