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 open 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");
    }
}
