loadStringEx (Locale.loadStringEx method)

public static loadStringEx(stringID:String, languageCode:String) : String

Returns the string value associated with the given string ID and language code. To avoid

unexpected XML file loading,

loadStringEx() does not load the XML language file if the

XML file is not already loaded. You should decide on the right time to call the

loadLanguageXML() method if you want to load a XML language file.

Availability: ActionScript 2.0; Flash Player 8

Parameters

stringID:String - The identification (ID) number of the string to load.

languageCode:String - The language code.

Returns

String - The string value associated with the given string ID in the language specified by the

languageCode parameter.

Example

The following example uses the

loadStringEx() method to trace the value of the

IDS_GREETING string for the currently loaded French language XML file.

import mx.lang.Locale;

Locale.setLoadCallback(localeCallback);

Locale.loadLanguageXML("fr");

function localeCallback(success:Boolean) {

trace(success);

trace(Locale.stringIDArray); // IDS_GREETING

trace(Locale.loadStringEx("IDS_GREETING", "fr")); // bonjour

}
