Chris Martin commented on FLEX-17210:
-------------------------------------
The spark formatter wraps the flash.globalization package in the flash player.
So it actually leverages the globalization info from the OS [1]. This is why it
works even thought we didn't compile in the resources for that language. So
really the local is only missing if it's not available in the OS.
The mx formatter requires the locale resource to be compiled into the swf. It
is not aware of the flash.globalization package in the flash player.
I think the mx Formatters are working as they should in requiring the locale
info to be compiled in. Someone may chose to use those if they want more
consistency in how things look for a certain language across various operating
systems [2].
