ResourceBundle  - AS3 Flex

A name that identifies this resource bundle, such as "MyResources".

This read-only property is set when a resource bundle is constructed.

Resource bundles that are automatically created from compiled properties files have bundle names based on the names of those files. For example, a properties file named MyResources.properties will produce a resource bundle whose bundleName is "MyResources".

The ResourceManager can manage multiple bundles with the same bundleName as long as they have different values for their locale property.

An object containing key-value pairs for the resources in this resource bundle.

In general, you should access resources by using IResourceManager methods such as getString(), rather than directly accessing them in a resource bundle. However, if you are programmatically creating your own resource bundles, you can initialize them with resources, as follows:

      var rb:IResourceBundle = new ResourceBundle("fr_FR", "MyResources");
      rb.content["LANGUAGE"] = "Francais";
      rb.content["GREETING"] = "Bonjour";
      

When a resource bundle is produced by compiling a properties file, its resource values are either of type String or Class. For example, if the properties file contains

      LANGUAGE=English
      MINIMUM_AGE=18
      ENABLED=true
      LOGO=Embed("logo.png")
      

then the value of the LANGUAGE resource is the String "English", the value of the MINIMUM_AGE resource is the String "18", the value of the ENABLED resource is the String "true", and the value of the LOGO resource is a Class that represents the embedded PNG file.

You can use IResourceManager methods such as getInt() and getBoolean() to convert resource strings like "18" and "true" into the type that your code expects.

The locale for which this bundle's resources have been localized. This is a String such as "en_US" for U.S. English.

This read-only property is set when a resource bundle is constructed.

Resource bundles that are automatically created from compiled properties files have locales based on the -compiler.locale option of the mxmlc or compc compilers. For example, suppose that you compile your application with the option -compiler.locale=en_US,ja_JP and that you have specified -compiler.source-path=resources/{locale} so that your application's resources, located in resources/en_US/MyResources.properties and resources/ja_JP/MyResources.properties, are found. Then your application will have two resource bundles whose bundleName is "MyResources", one whose locale is "en_US" and one whose locale is "ja_JP".

Constructor.

When a properties file is compiled into a resource bundle, the MXML compiler autogenerates a subclass of ResourceBundle. The subclass overrides this method to return an Object that contains key-value pairs for the bundle's resources.

If you create your own ResourceBundle instances, you can set the key-value pairs on the content object.
