RE: [flexcoders] globalisation in flex..

I dint follow the whole thread, but i noticed "includes" are used.

So if u need the locale thingies in more then one mxml the locale thingies will be included in all of the files, wich is offcourse not efficient.

I would say a class would be more approprate, maybe something like this:

    class fly.language.LanguageManager
    {
        static private var _currentLanguage_str:String;

        static public function init(init_obj:Object):Void
        {
            _currentLanguage_str = init_obj.language;
        };

        static public function getLanguage():String
        {
            return _currentLanguage_str;
        };

        static public function getText(type_str:String):String
        {
            return (_global.fly.language[_currentLanguage_str][type_str]);
        };
};

Then u have locale files like this:

    class fly.language.English
    {
        static public var name:String = "Name";
        static public var adress:String = "Adress";
        static public var phoneNumber:String = "Phonenumber";
        static public var send:String = "Send";
    };

    class fly.language.Dutch
    {
        static public var name:String = "Naam";
        static public var adress:String = "Adres";
        static public var phoneNumber:String = "Telefoonnummer";
        static public var send:String = "Verzenden";
    };

Then in your application u would have this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" initialize="start()">

<mx:Script>

<![CDATA[

import fly.language.LanguageManager

public function start()

{

//make sure one of the language classes is included in the application

//fly.language.Dutch;

fly.language.English;

fly.language.LanguageManager.init({language: "English"});

};

]]>

</mx:Script>

<mx:Form>
    <mx:FormItem label="{LanguageManager.getText("name")}">
      <mx:TextInput />
    </mx:FormItem>
    <mx:FormItem label="{LanguageManager.getText("adress")}">
      <mx:TextArea />
    </mx:FormItem>
    <mx:FormItem label="{LanguageManager.getText("phoneNumber")}">
      <mx:TextInput />
    </mx:FormItem>
    <mx:FormItem>
      <mx:Button label="{LanguageManager.getText("send")}" />
    </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>

This makes sure that your language translations are included only once in your application. And reachable in every class via the LanguageManager.

Search the docs for the whitelist, its mentioned in plenty of places.

As for your buttons:

<mx:Button label=French click=locale = fr_FR />

<mx:Button label=English click=locale = en_US />

hi Matt,

I tried the approach 3 but i get an error which says "Http service fault" you are not allowed to access the url http://localhost:8088/flex/globalisatio/en_US.xml via this proxy. This URL is not in the proxy's whitelist. what does it mean?

and I tried the approach 2. the code is :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">
<mx:Model id="en_US" source="en_US.xml" />
<mx:Model id="fr_FR" source="fr_FR.xml" />
<mx:Object id="locale">{en_US}</mx:Object>
<mx:Form>
    <mx:FormItem label="{locale.name}">
      <mx:TextInput />
    </mx:FormItem>
    <mx:FormItem label="{locale.address}">
      <mx:TextArea />
    </mx:FormItem>
    <mx:FormItem label="{locale.phoneNumber}">
      <mx:TextInput />
    </mx:FormItem>
    <mx:FormItem>
      <mx:Button label="{locale.send}" />
    </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>

here say i have 2 buttons , one for english and other for french. how should i make it work? please send me the code for this..

thanks,

nithya
