Karl : Greetings Robert I got the following error, it’s similar to one written before ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property -1 not found on __AS3__.vec.Vector. and there is no default value. and several lines referring to methods like truncateText() ,validateSize() , measureSize() This error only appears when I put a small sized button, then I believe that the problem is when the button isnt large enough for the label. Has this happened to you?

Hi, I got that issue when using different controls, not only buttons. Any solving?

Hi Robert,
I couldn’t find a way to prevent the xml files from caching without editing your class.
It would be nice if an additional parameter could be passed to xmlResourceLoader.load( localeChain, cacheControl ), so this could be used if supplied to prevent caching.

Cheers
Paul

To override the date formatting strings for different locales, you have to create framework resources. Please see this article for more information: http://www.savage7.com/index.php/2011/01/adobe-flex-3-load-framework-localization-resources-at-runtime-using-xml/

Hi Robert,

Great work!
I’ve managed to apply format Dates for different locales, but they all display the formatted Dates in English. How can I get them to show the translated day and month strings?

Thanks in advance

Hi Karl,

Yes, it is. I have had several people comment on this issue. I need to create another article to address the issue. The main issue is that the locale chain for a non-English languages do not include “en_US”. “en_US” is where Adobe includes all it’s default framework resources. To get the default English strings to show up instead of “NULL”, you can modify the local chain to always include “en_US” at the end of the chain, so that if no overriding resource property is found, it will at least use the default Adobe provided English strings instead of “NULL”.

See Comment #15 for additional details.

Robert, do you think the fact that all my alerts appear with null buttons no matter what, has something to do with me using your class for localization?
