In that case, I don't think the binding expression will re-evaluate when
the localeChain changes. It may be easiest to override
resourcesChanged(). But you could also try doing some extra work to get
the binding expression to re-evaluate. Try putting [Bindable("change")]
metadata on your declaration of the buildTitle() method, and arrange for
the class buildTitle() is in to redispatch the ResourceManager's
"change" events.Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Rodseth Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 3:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] internationalization @ switching runtime No, no, I am definitely using the ResourceManager. But the expression is something like text="{buildTitle(someParameter)}" And buildTitle calls static function getUIString which calls getResourceManager followed by some string substitution.
