A name that identifies this resource bundle, such as "MyResources".

This read-only property is set when a resource bundle is constructed.

Resource bundles that are automatically created from compiled properties files have bundle names based on the names of those files. For example, a properties file named MyResources.properties will produce a resource bundle whose bundleName is "MyResources".

The ResourceManager can manage multiple bundles with the same bundleName as long as they have different values for their locale property.

An object containing key-value pairs for the resources in this resource bundle.

In general, you should access resources by using IResourceManager methods such as getString(), rather than directly accessing them in a resource bundle. However, if you are programmatically creating your own resource bundles, you can initialize them with resources, as follows:

      var rb:IResourceBundle = new ResourceBundle("fr_FR", "MyResources");
      rb.content["LANGUAGE"] = "Francais";
      rb.content["GREETING"] = "Bonjour";
      

When a resource bundle is produced by compiling a properties file, its resource values are either of type String or Class. For example, if the properties file contains

      LANGUAGE=English
      MINIMUM_AGE=18
      ENABLED=true
      LOGO=Embed("logo.png")
      

then the value of the LANGUAGE resource is the String "English", the value of the MINIMUM_AGE resource is the String "18", the value of the ENABLED resource is the String "true", and the value of the LOGO resource is a Class that represents the embedded PNG file.

You can use IResourceManager methods such as getInt() and getBoolean() to convert resource strings like "18" and "true" into the type that your code expects.

The locale for which this bundle's resources have been localized. This is a String such as "en_US" for U.S. English.

This read-only property is set when a resource bundle is constructed.

Resource bundles that are automatically created from compiled properties files have locales based on the -compiler.locale option of the mxmlc or compc compilers. For example, suppose that you compile your application with the option -compiler.locale=en_US,ja_JP and that you have specified -compiler.source-path=resources/{locale} so that your application's resources, located in resources/en_US/MyResources.properties and resources/ja_JP/MyResources.properties, are found. Then your application will have two resource bundles whose bundleName is "MyResources", one whose locale is "en_US" and one whose locale is "ja_JP".

Constructor.

Gets a Boolean from a ResourceBundle.

If the resource specified by the key parameter does not exist in this bundle, this method throws an error.

This method has been deprecated because all resources should now be accessed via methods of the IResourceManager interface. You should convert your code to instead call the getBoolean()method of IResourceManager. All classes that extend UIComponent, Formatter, or Validator have a resourceManager property that provides a reference to an object implementing this interface. Other classes can call the ResourceManager.getInstance() method to obtain this object.

Parameters

When a properties file is compiled into a resource bundle, the MXML compiler autogenerates a subclass of ResourceBundle. The subclass overrides this method to return an Object that contains key-value pairs for the bundle's resources.

If you create your own ResourceBundle instances, you can set the key-value pairs on the content object.

Gets a Number from a ResourceBundle.

If the resource specified by the key parameter does not exist in this bundle, this method throws an error.

This method has been deprecated because all resources should now be accessed via methods of the IResourceManager interface. You should convert your code to instead call the getNumber(), getInt(), or getUint() method of IResourceManager. All classes that extend UIComponent, Formatter, or Validator have a resourceManager property that provides a reference to an object implementing this interface. Other classes can call the ResourceManager.getInstance() method to obtain this object.

Parameters

Gets an Object from a ResourceBundle.

If the resource specified by the key parameter does not exist in this bundle, this method throws an error.

This method has been deprecated because all resources should now be accessed via methods of the IResourceManager interface. You should convert your code to instead call the getObject() or getClass() method of IResourceManager. All classes that extend UIComponent, Formatter, or Validator have a resourceManager property that provides a reference to an object implementing this interface. Other classes can call the ResourceManager.getInstance() method to obtain this object.

Parameters

If you compiled your application for a single locale, this method can return a ResourceBundle when provided with a resource bundle name,

This method has been deprecated because the Flex framework now supports having resource bundles for multiple locales in the same application. You can use the getResourceBundle() method of IResourceManager to get a resource bundle if you know its bundle name and locale. However, you should no longer access resources directly from a ResourceBundle. All resources should now be accessed via methods of the IResourceManager interface such as getString(). All classes that extend UIComponent, Formatter, or Validator have a resourceManager property which provides a reference to an object implementing this interface. Other classes can call ResourceManager.getInstance() to obtain this object.

Parameters

Gets a String from a ResourceBundle.

If the resource specified by the key parameter does not exist in this bundle, this method throws an error.

This method has been deprecated because all resources should now be accessed via methods of the IResourceManager interface. You should convert your code to instead call the getString() method of IResourceManager. All classes that extend UIComponent, Formatter, or Validator have a resourceManager property that provides a reference to an object implementing this interface. Other classes can call the ResourceManager.getInstance() method to obtain this object.

Parameters

Gets an Array of Strings from a ResourceBundle.

The Array is produced by assuming that the actual value of the resource is a String containing comma-separated items, such as "India, China, Japan". After splitting the String at the commas, any white space before or after each item is trimmed.

If the resource specified by the key parameter does not exist in this bundle, this method throws an error.

This method has been deprecated because all resources should now be accessed via methods of the IResourceManager interface. You should convert your code to instead call the getStringArray() method of IResourceManager. All classes that extend UIComponent, Formatter, or Validator have a resourceManager property which provides a reference to an object implementing this interface. Other classes can call ResourceManager.getInstance() to obtain this object.
