dynamicallyl setting resourcemanager language

DebbieAlger — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:35:05 GMT

Hi again,

I have successfully added a combobox to the top of my gui in a skin, but getting errors trying to set the resourcemanager..
"Access of undefined property resourcemanager"
I am guessing that it is not accessible in a sparkskin file?? what do I know, I am new..

      Alert.show("You selected " + temp);
      if (ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem = "English") {
       resourcemanager.localeChain = ['en_US']; // ERROR
      }else{
       resourcemanager.localeChain = ['fr_FR'];   // ERROR
      }

   }

Geez, more replies from me than anyone else.
I am the moron here. there should be a capital "M" in resourceManager..

resourceManager.localeChain = ['en_US'];

so sorry for wasting all your time..

thanks Dasi
