You're setting mybutton.label only once, when init() executes at creationComplete time. Since you're not using databinding, the label isn't going to automatically change when you change the localeChain. You need to override the resourcesChanged() method and reset the label.
Since you like to use code-behind to separate the View from the Model/Controller, wouldn't it make more sense to consider the localized strings part of the View and put them in the MXML using databinding so that they automatically update when the localeChain changes? BTW, you don't need to declare and initialize your 'rm' instance variable. Your 'mycomp2' component already has a 'resourceManager' property because it extends UIComponent.

All works fine when I do my stuff into mxml files, but if I add some actionScript code into AS code-behind classes, the update seems work only if the component has not been viewed. Example : I have a simple mxml / as component with this code : mxml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <my:mycomp2 xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " width="400" height="300" xmlns:my="*" creationComplete="init()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ override protected function init():void { // your code here // (if really necessary, otherwise code on [Class]Base.as) super.init(); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button id="mybutton" /> </my:mycomp2> ActionScript : package { import mx.containers.Canvas; import mx.controls.Button; import mx.resources.IResourceManager; import mx.resources.ResourceManager; public class mycomp2 extends Canvas { public var mybutton:Button; public var rm:IResourceManager; public function mycomp2() { rm = ResourceManager.getInstance(); } protected function init():void { this.mybutton.label = rm.getString('myResources', 'fieldEmail'); } } } On my main mxml application, I set my resourceManager, and have a combobox to select the correct language. On the change handler of the combobox, I use : private function localeComboBox_changeHandler(event:Event):void { resourceManager.localeChain = [ localeComboBox.selectedItem ]; resourceManager.update(); } If I don't display first time my component and change the language, the component display correctly the update. But since I display the component, even only one time, it seems that the ResourceManager wouldn't made any change on the actionScript setted values for the further displays... Anybody know this issue / have a solution about it ?? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Thierry
