Answer 1

nice solution for the arabic numbers :). You can write a simpler version of the function like this:

function convert_arabic(str:String)
{
    var eng_num = ["0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"];
    var ara_num = ["۰","۱","۲","۳","٤","٥","٦","۷","۸","۹"];

    for(var f:int = 0; f < eng_num.length; f++)
        str = str.replace(new RegExp(eng_num[f], "g"), ara_num[f]);

    return str;
}
