Flex already has the concept of resource bundles. You put your localizable strings in .properties files, which get compiled into ResourceBundle classes. You can then fetch strings out of the ResourceBundles, most easily in MXML with the @Resource() directive. The docs have info about this..

In my previous flash projects we've had a string table of sorts set up so that all the strings in the application can be edited easily. We can also easily modify the strings for foreign users. I have taken this idea and implemented it in Flex as follows. In the main application I have this code: [Bindable] public var dialogueText:Object = { loginBoxHeader:"Member Login", to set up the string table (obviously other strings in there as well). In my login component I have the following: [Bindable] private var mainApplication:Object = mx.core.Application.application; and <mx:Label x="10" y="12" text="{mainApplication.dialogueText.loginUsername}"/> Is this the best way of doing this or will having all of these bound variables around the place slow things down? Is there a better way of doing this? Many Thanks Giles Roadnight
