MatchingCollator
class provides locale-sensitve string
comparison capabilities with inital settings suitable for general string
matching such as finding a matching word in a block of text.
This class is a wrapper class around the
flash.globalization.Collator
.
Therefore the locale-specific string comparison is provided by the
flash.globalization.Collator
.
However, this MatchingCollator class can be used in MXML declartions, uses
the locale style for the requested Locale ID name, and has methods and
properties that are bindable.
Additionally, LastOperationStatus
is set, if there is an error or warning
generated by the flash.globalization class.
The flash.globalization.Collator class uses the underlying operating system for the formatting functionality and to supply the locale specific data. On some operating systems, the flash.globalization classes are unsupported, this wrapper class provides a fallback functionality.
