I've never seen Flex Builder do anything like that. It should produce
myapp.swf with both es_ES and en_US resources compiled into the SWF.
It is possible to create resource module SWFs, which are small and
contain only resources, by using the command-line compiler mxmlc. Maybe
the es_ES.swf file is a module created in that way? If so, it can be
programmatically loaded whenever you want by calling
resourceManager.loadResourceModule()
or automatically loaded at startup by specifying resourceModuleURLs in
the FlashVars of the HTML wrapper.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Non en_US locale's number/date format strings
Thanks for the info Gordon. I can appreciate the effort required to
localize to other
languages. Like you said, it would be great to have the community
generate "language"
packs and share them with others.
Can I clarify one thing though - let's say I had localized en_US to
es_ES myself. I specify
locale=es_ES,en_US as a compiler arg in FB3 and it creates as output
files myapp.swf and
es_ES.swf. The later of which is much smaller in size which I'm assuming
is because it just
contains the es_ES resources, not a full copy of the application code.
If this is the case,
what is the logic that determines when this es_ES.swf file is loaded?
Would it always load
it, or only load it when I explicity set the localeChain to include
es_ES?
