If you are a creative designer and playing with typo is part of your everyday job, then there are few very interesting interactive games for you to polish your typo skills a little bit more.

KernType is a kerning game to learn the process of adjusting the spacing between characters. In this game which start from an example, you have to move charatcers horizontally to adjust the spacing between them proplery.You can use mouse or keyboards keys to do that. After each problem you can see the result that how much accurate you were.

Shape Type is a similar game but in this you have to give a proper shape to a charatcer but using anchor points. Its just like using pen tool in designing tools like Photoshop and Illustrator.

Best part is these games are developed in HTML and CSS and are created by Mark MacKay for Method of Action, which is a peer to peer education website where anyone can participate and learn freely.

Flaraby3 – Flash Component for Arabic in Flash is Available

Creative UAE — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 05:03:28 +0000

Thanks to shagarah that now we have Flaraby3 available to download.

Some basic features of this flash components are

Flaraby3 helps developer to import arabic text in flash
Flaraby3 supports Tashkeel in Arabic text.
Flaraby3 supports the “embedFonts” property which enables the .swf file to display the Arabic text even if the target user doesn’t have Arabic language installed. However, due to the way the fonts are made, only some fonts succeed to show correctly, examples are “Traditional Arabic” and “Andalous”.
Support Html Tags.

There are few drawbacks but I think shagarah will INSHALLAH solve this small issues which are

Multiple text formats are NOT supported in the same textField.
You MUST use a TextFormat object.

Overall Flaraby is a one of the best and easiest solution.

You can download Flaraby3 Lite from here. You can also doownload the component from the box widget on the sidebar. A Solution similar to this but with xml and css is here for arabic in flash, drawback of this solution is end user must have arabic local install on its operating system
