Okay, I have what I suppose is a solution to this, but I'm still short a coupla
answers.
1) I ran the resource-bundle-list option again on my application
mxmlc -locale= -resource-bundle-list=myresources.txt
-include-libraries+=..\libs\CairngormWithExtensions.swc app.mxml
which came up with:
CairngormMessages LanguageResource SharedResources collections containers
controls core effects formatters logging messaging rpc skins styles utils
The difference is the SharedResources and formatters, which wasn't in the
original.
2) I recompiled the resource bundles (skipping CairngormMessages, which I'm not
using) over the 15 languages. ie.
mxmlc -locale=da -source-path=locale/{locale}
-include-resource-bundles=LanguageResource,SharedResources,collections,containers,controls,core,effects,logging,messaging,rpc,skins,styles,utils
-output=src/Resources_da.swf
So now it doesn't fall over on MMM or MMMM.
However, I have but face. Also, I'm about to make some assumptions... The
copylocale that I used earlier to create the resources seems to do exactly
that: copies. It doesn't actually create a proper locale for all those places.
So "January" in en_US is still "January" in it_IT when, according to Babelfish,
it should be "Gennaio" etc. etc.
What can I do about this?
Where can I get proper versions of these locales?
Is there a way to get the names from the operating system and apply them to
DateBase or is this already happening and I just can't see it because I'm
running an English machine?
Danke for any light you can shed on this.
