I am creating an application that displays in a few character sets:
English, French, & Hindi.
I am using resource bundles (name/value pairs in UTF-8 encoded text
files named "appStrings.properties") and Flex 3 to create my
application. I am using the resource manager to retrieve the strings:
e.g.
<mx:TabNavigator id="mainTabControl" width="100%" height="100%">
<view:CustomView label="{resourceManager.getString('appStrings',
'customViewString')}"/>
</mx:TabNavigator>
Additionally, I use the following code to set the locale of choice in
my app:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
private var locales:Array = [ "en_CA" , "fr_CA", "hi_IN" ];
private function localeComboBox_initializeHandler(event:Event):void
{
localeComboBox.selectedIndex =
locales.indexOf(resourceManager.localeChain[0]);
}
private function localeComboBox_changeHandler(event:Event):void
{
resourceManager.localeChain = [ localeComboBox.selectedItem ];
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Label text="Langauge:"/>
<mx:ComboBox id="localeComboBox" dataProvider="{locales}"
initialize="localeComboBox_initializeHandler(event)"
change="localeComboBox_changeHandler(event)"/>
</mx:HBox>
The problem is that English & French characters display correctly, but
Hindi characters do not. They show up as a a series of squares.
Has anyone encountered this before? Does anyone have an idea what the
problem is?
