Hi,
Look at using the "Strings Panel" - it's in FL8, probably in CS3.
This lets you attach an ID to all your text fields, etc. and define
languages in XML. The help has more in depth stuff about this, but that
is a good start.
You may also want to ensure all your translation is done before the
designer starts, otherwise they might start getting stressed when you
ask them to resize a button for German, etc.

Hi Dave,
I would ask the designer to put all the text in dynamic textFields
(and fill them w3ith dummy text).
You can than adress these TextFields and fill them with text from a
database at runtime, depending on a 'language' flag.

I may be doing an app that has to be deployed in various languages,
and I'm trying to find a good method of doing it. I guess my main
issue is that the interface is Flash, and would be created by a
designer. Content is pretty much all external, but things like button
text, tool tip text, etc. are put in place by the designer.
I'd thought of just making different interface 'shells' for the
various languages, but that'd be more difficult to maintain. What'd
be perfect is language plugins but then I'm not quite sure on how to
handle sizing problems - especially with certain languages like chinese.
Just looking for some guidance.
