Example
The following example creates a variable called
defLang, which is used to hold the initial
default language for the Flash document. You click the Settings button in the Strings panel to
launch the Settings dialog box. Then you add two active languages: English (en) and French
(fr), set the replace strings radio control to
"via ActionScript at runtime", and click OK.
In the Strings panel, you add a string ID of IDS_GREETING, and then add text for each
active language.
import mx.lang.Locale;
var defLang:String = "fr";
Locale.setDefaultLang(defLang);
Locale.setLoadCallback(localeCallback);
Locale.loadLanguageXML(Locale.getDefaultLang());
function localeCallback(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
trace(Locale.stringIDArray); // IDS_GREETING
trace(Locale.loadString("IDS_GREETING"));
} else {
trace("unable to load XML");
}
}
