Does Openanimator deal with complex scripts properly. Flash has a
problem with complex scripts.
When you directly enter any text in a text field in flash (without any
UI components) it displays the complex scripts correctly but as click
out out of the editing mode it gets the scripts all wrong. However if
you use a component like a textbox then the script is displayed
correctly.
Is there any such problem in openanimator?

Hi,
Well if you would like to know the current capability of openanimator engine, here is a screenshot which shows that it can render complex scripts ( aka Hindi, Sanskrit, etc ) . [ Screenshot ]
FYI, OpenAnimator uses Freetype 2 library for all its font rendering.
The engine would support complex script rendering, in its first release ( hopefully ) [ If anyone is interested in working out the details, I'll be happy to elaborate steps needed for its integration :) ].
An issue is already raised for the same, and can be found here http://code.google.com/p/openanimator/issues/detail?id=2
Since flash probably uses windows components for entering text, which already have support to render them correctly, so you see a correct rendering. But as soon as you go out of the edit mode, flash uses its own rendering engine to do it, which probably does not understand complex scripts very well.
