Abstract

Adobe is a software development company established in 1982, and has developed a number of software applications for use in various fields.The program Animate cc (flash previously) is one of the most prominent products and is widely used in the design of programming and producing best animation websites. Adobe has included in Flash software releases (Adobe Flash Professional CS6,Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and previous releases) a text-processing library called Text Layout Framework(TLF). This library supports Arabic-language writing from right to left and supports left-to-right writing of numbers and texts written from left to right such as Latin numbers and letters. However, the versions of Animate cc have not include the text-formatting library, which resulted in the inability of designers and programmers to produce interactive Arab applications. In this research, we designed a component for writing in Arabic called Arabic Text component that contains a wide range of fonts, text control properties and the addition of aesthetic and artistic effects of Arabic characters that are not included in the previous versions of Flash. The ArabicText component is included once in the flash program components, then it is used for writing by inserting it into stage.
