Hi Matt – that’s great news! I’m glad to hear that localization is being considered as you go forward.
And you are right that having to compile for every language is by no means a worst-case scenario as far as localization goes.

You’re right that in Flex 2.0.1 to use the built-in resource managers you do need to recompile the SWF per-language. While frustrating it strikes us that it’s something that’s fairly straightforward to do in a build script like Ant. However, we are adding runtime localization support into the next version of Flex, codenamed “Moxie.” You’ll be able to try that functionality out when we release a beta in the first half of this year.
