The recommended pattern is in UIBase and hopefully elsewhere:
if (getBeadByType(IBeadController) == null)
{
c = ValuesManager.valuesImpl.getValue(this, "iBeadController") as
Class;
if (c)
{
var controller:IBeadController = new c as IBeadController;
if (controller)
addBead(controller);
}
}
There are variants where you do something like:
var controller:IBeadController = getBeadByType(IBeadController);
If (controller == null)
{
c = ValuesManager.valuesImpl.getValue(this, "iBeadController") as
Class;
if (c)
{
controller = new c as IBeadController;
if (controller)
addBead(controller);
}
}

Do we need resources in order to make a locale-dependant DateFormat bead?
IMO, with PAYG, you could bake in a specific format that doesn't have to
query the current locale or choose one that does. It looks like the Intl
class is pretty well supported on JS these days? Would that and
flash.globalization "do the right thing" without a whole resource
subsystem?
