for ff it's navigator.language for ie it's navigator.browserLanguage but neither is a real substitute for HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE. for instance navigator.language is telling me my language is "en-US" but HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE is telling me a lot more, "en,th;q=0.7,ja,ar;q=0.3", combining those bits with some simple IP-based geocoding provides a pretty reliable "guess" (>90% correct) as to a user's locale. access to other CGI bits from within flex would be nice, for instance something like PATH_TRANSLATED is really useful for self-configuring apps if things need to read/wwritten to the server filesystem. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
