Flex Butterflies and Bugs: "Support for right to left layouts in Flex 4.x (aka Mirroring) •March 8, 2010 • 2

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on a new feature in the Flex SDK that we’ve been calling “Layout Mirroring”. Since flash player 10’s text engine now supports right to left text, it was a natural progression for the Flex SDK to support RTL (right to left) layouts. This feature did not make it into the Flex 4 release (which we’ve pretty much wrapped up, but, hasn’t been kicked out the door, officially). However, we’ve started developing and testing on Layout Mirroring for a future release of Flex 4. I’ll call it 4.x until there is an official name for this release that our trusty product managers will allow me to talk about."
