372 Creating Multilanguage Text
7. Click OK.
A column for each selected language appears in the Strings panel. The columns appear in
alphabetical order.
8. Save the FLA file. When you save the FLA file, a folder for each language you selected is
created in the same folder indicated in the SWF publish path. For more information, see
“Publishing Flash documents” on page 459. If no SWF publish path has been selected, it
is created in the folder the FLA file resides in. Within each language file an XML file is
created that is used to load translated text.
To remove a language:
1. Select Window > Other Panels > Strings to open the Strings panel.
2. Click the Settings button to show the Settings dialog box.
3. In the Active languages field, highlight a language you want to remove, and click the
Remove button.
The language no longer appears in the Active languages field.
4. Repeat step 3 until you have removed all the languages you want.
5. When you are done removing languages, click OK.
The column for each removed language no longer appears in the Strings panel.
Adding strings to the Strings panel
There are several ways to assign text strings to the Strings panel: you can assign a string ID to
a dynamic or input text field, add a string to the Strings panel without assigning it to a text
field, or assign an existing string ID to an existing dynamic or input text field. For
information about creating dynamic and input text boxes, see “Creating text” on page 162.
NOTE
When you remove a language from the Strings panel, the language XML file is not
deleted from the local file system. This lets you add the language back into the
Strings panel using the previous XML file, and prevents accidental deletion. To
completely remove the language, you must delete or replace the language XML file.
