Open Petition to Adobe (FP40 issue)

This is a notes on Adobe Flash Player FP-40 issue

If you'll try to create simple text input field in Adobe Flash and will type non-latin characters --- you'll fail if: you're using Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OSX, some Windows (Vista too), or swf-file was published with wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque options.

This is an known bug (know as FP-40). It was created two or more years ago in Adobe bugtracker.

Why it not fixed? I don't know. May be Adobe don't know how fix it. May be Adobe don't want fix it. Who knows? Who cares?

We care. We all spent many hours, day, week and months to find workaround for issue with no luck. There is no solution I seen! And many developers decide to switch to Java FX or Silverlight/Moonlight technologies. But it's impossible when you develop shared Flash application for posting in blogs, livejournal, facebook, myspace, etc - swf-embed support only.

So, I've started online petition to Adobe: http://www.petitiononline.com/3YUJUPHx/petition.html

This petition helps Adobe to change priority of FP40 issue and fix it faster than few years =)

If you, your friends or friend's of your friend is familiar with Flash/Flex - give link to this post, please.

Thanks a lot!
