[flexcoders] How to get the right locale in IE?

I'm trying to get the locale from IE 9. I've written the following, but it is not working as expected. In IE 9, I can add more than one language, so I can add [de], then [de_DE], then [en_US] (listed in that order). If I call 'navigator.userLanguage.toString', then IE returns en-us, even thoug

[flexcoders] Fonts and localization

I’m trying to understand what Adobe Flex is doing for Korean (and other languages) fonts. I’m seeing that the font used for a Spark label is different than what is used in an MX Advanced Data Grid. I’m using Adobe Flex 4.0 and 4.6. I have the following sample app. The font used to display th

RE: [flexcoders] Fonts and localization

Thanks. I’m being told by our Korean QA that the default font that is used in the MS Advanced Data Grid is much cleaner than what is used in the Spark controls. How do I change this to use the same font as the grid across my whole app? Michael J. Regert Please consider the environment before

RE: [flexcoders] Fonts and localization

Can you clarify something then? I’m learning all of this. For Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese, I’m being told the font (or rendering) of characters in MX is cleaner and more readable then the Spark components. Why the change? Using MX only would be a serious step backwards… Michael

[flexcoders] Using Windows fonts in Flex

How can I use the fonts in the Windows/Fonts directory in Flex? Looks like in Flex 3, I could say @font-face {src:local("fontname"_... But, with Flex 4, it says local is no longer supported. I don't want to hardcode a url, like c:\Windows\Fonts given that it may not be installed on C: Michael

[flexcoders] Binding from a

Just found out that you can no longer bind FROM a spark label's text TO some other object. With MX components, this could be done. Looking at the Adobe code, seems like they removed (or forgot) the binding on the text property for Spark. Is there a reason for this change, or is this a bug?

[flexcoders] Form indentation

Is there an easy with a Spark Form to accomplish indentation on some of the items' labels? I'm not seeing a good way unless I write a whole new skin... I want the text input boxes left and right aligned, but want the 2nd and third items to have their label indented from the top one. Thanks!

[flexcoders] RE: Form indentation

I have, but cannot seem to make any CSS changes that cause indentation. I have tried two forms as suggested, but then the logic for the items to be aligned to the longest label fails since they're no longer in the same form so all items are not properly aligned. *sigh* Michael J. Regert Sof
