Thanks Ian. Looks quite interesting from a distance. Will the mx.lang.* classes add too many extra KB's into my published movie? Can I manipulate the string values at runtime? Does someone have code examples to do this?
Also, my very basic investigation shows that using this creates a separate XML file to store the string values. Is this avoidable? I'm on a pretty firm spec where the swf has to be completely standalone with no external dependencies except the host application.
