Shagarah, One of Creative UAE reader commented on a post which was arabic in flash through xml & css. I thought its better to make a new post on the basis of the information Shagarah provided us.
Adobe have a component name as Flaraby which can display arabic and english text in .swf files at runtime side by side in a same sentence. It supports 2 fonts “Traditional Arabic” and “Andalous” for now. It acctully embed the arabic font into swf to show the arabic text, which means the final application does not need an Arabic-enabled system to work on
Its price is $10 and you can download it from Adobe by clicking here.
It was developed by beemode, a company based in Egypt.

You can try the Flaraby here
Akhbarakom is an application based on Flaraby technology to display Arabic text.

You can download and read about it more from Download.com.
I think its a great flash component but if anyone is not in the mood of spending money, you can have a complete free solution on arabic in flash post. You can use arabic(rtl) text in same sentence with english text.

Drawback is end user should have arabic support installed on his/her OS.
On Windows XP you can do it by going into control panel then click on regional & language support and then click on Languages tab and check Install files for East Asian languages. It will ask for your Windows Installation CD.

Thank you aarif for posting this post, but somethings need to be clarified:
The component on Adobe, is made by me and it’s version 1, I made that when I was a partner in beemode.com, and it’s not available now for purchase, the component on arabicode is version 3 beta, with much more features.
I insha’ Allah intend to make a free lite version of Flaraby version 3, in addition to the full version which insha’ Allah will be commercial.
Thank you.

Also, Akhbarakom on arabicode.com does not use Flaraby, but yet I converted it to Javascript instead of Flash.
I may reconsider making a more interesting Flash version in the future insha’ Allah.
