Hi,

I'm writting a Flex-PHP application where PHP passes locale string (e.g. fr_FR) to Flex using flashvars. The problem is that I don't know for how many languages my app will be localized. If I pass to Flex locale string which was not specified in compiler options I get error:

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property -1 not found on __AS3__.vec.Vector.<flash.display::DisplayObject> and there is no default value.

Could anyone tell me why I need to copy locale (in {SDK_folder/frameworks/locale}) and have all locales specified at compilation stage?

Is there any way to add localisations dynamically? And I don't mean specyfing localisation strings by that (I already managed to do that).

Hi,
You doesn't need to specify all the locales in compilation. But the thing is you need to have all the locale files which ever you specify should be there in
{SDK_folder/frameworks/locale}. Because whenever you specify a locale it will look in to this folder {SDK_folder/frameworks/locale} whether the locale specifed is supported by flex or not. If it is not there it will throw error. Thats why you are getting the error.

Actually i get this error:
"ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property -1 not found on __AS3__.vec.Vector.<flash.display::DisplayObject> and there is no default value."
when I'm trying to set resourceMagager.localeChain = ["xx_XX"] and xx_XX is not specified in compiler options.

If I specify xx_XX in compiler options and do not create {SDK_folder}/frameworks/locale/xx_XX resource then I get error:
"Unable to open '{SDK_folder}\frameworks\locale\xx_XX' {Application_name} Unknown Flex Problem"

In my app I'm creating localized resources dynamically what means that I'm doing it by reading a XML file containg key-value items at runtime. When I try to set resourceMagager.localeChain = ["xx_XX"], where xx_XX is not specified in compiler options, my app stops working (e.g. it doesn't load images). I can't understand why I'm limited in such way? Why do I need to specify locales in compiler options to make my app work properly even if I create localized resources dynamically?

Does anyone know why Flex needs to have all used locales in {SDK_folder}\frameworks\locale\? For me it looks like unnecessary complication.

Hi,
In this resourceMagager.localeChain = ["xx_XX"] you are trying to give some language right. So if you are specifying a language it should be supported by flex. Means the swc files required for localization of that language should be there in {SDK_folder/frameworks/locale} then only it will localize that language. Otherwise it will throw an error. Thats what i said in last reply itself.

Thanks for your reply,

I understand the things you wrote, I know how to use localization. My question was about organization of localization process and maybe it was a little to deep. I wanted to know why exactly flex needs to have that "swc files required for localization". Why are they required? What is their function?

Anyways I created all requierd locales and from the view of my project it's not a problem any more.
