having compiler warnings for missing keys sounds good - but this is maybe a bit inconsisten with the runtime behaviour: IIRC, if you compiled the SWF with the locale chain ["en_US", "fr_FR"] and at runtime try to get a key from the fr_FR bundle and that key does not exist, Flex will try to get the key from the en_US bundle (and failing that I think you get an RTE, not sure though). So no warning at runtime but a "soft" fallback to the previous locale in the locale chain. Dirk.
