The Resource and Styles subsystems use Modules to load at runtime, and Modules sort of imply a single main class.
In the end, the single main class registers various resources and styles with the appropriate manager, so if you create your own main class and copy enough code, you can pack all of the styles and resources into a single module and have it register the right things with the right managers. You probably can't use the compiler to generate the single SWF so you may have to use the generated code and create a custom SWF. It won't tax your brain, but will be tedious. I'd say it would have a difficulty rating of 7 out of 10. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Barreca Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 8:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Loading ResourceModule and CSS with one HTTP call When loading a ResourceModule for the Japanese language, we also want to apply a set of styles to change the default font to something Japanese. I have a solution now that loads a ja_JP_Styles.swf through StyleManager as well as loading a ja_JP_ResourceModule.swf with ResourceManager but would like to combine the calls. 1. I know I could forget about loading external style SWFs and put something like StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("global").setStyle("fontFamily", resourceManager.getString("FooBar", "globalFont")); after setting localeChain, but I'm thinking we'll want to change other styles and would like to keep a generic solution like I have now, but cut down on the extra HTTP request. Maybe this is my only option? 2. I thought one could somehow Embed("style.css") in my Foo.properties ResourceBundle but it doesn't seem like that is the right path. 3. Also, I read in the proposed spec (http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Runtime+Localization+S pecification#RuntimeLocalizationSpecification-Problem:AstylevalueinaCSSs electorcan <http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Runtime+Localization+S pecification#RuntimeLocalizationSpecification-Problem:AstylevalueinaCSSs electorcan> 'tcomefromaresource.) that one might be able to do something like the following, but it barfs so this feature probably didn't make it in. global { fontFamily: Resource(bundle="FooBar", key="globalFont"); } What is the best way to do this, am I stuck with option #1 if I want to just do one HTTP call when switching locales? Thanks, -R
