Flex : Unable to open 'locale/en_US'

Question

Using Flex Builder :
I have created a new Actionscript Project. I want to use mx.controls.Button class in it, so I did the following :

1. Added '-locale=en_US -source-path=locale/{locale}' to the Actionscript compiler arguments
2. Added 'framework.swc' to the library path

But now I get this error: unable to open 'locale/en_US' I looked up and I do have the following directory inside my Flex Builder 3 installation:
./sdks/3.0.0/frameworks/locale/en_US

How to fix it?

Answer 1

Have you added a "locale" directory containing an "en_US" directory at the root of your Flex project, to be used for storing your locale-specific properties? For example, in a project supporting English- and French-localized strings, your Flex project structure might look something like this:

-- YourProject
   |-- libs
   |-- locale
       |-- en_US
           |-- resources.properties
       |-- en_FR
           |-- resources.properties
   |-- src
       |-- [Your source files...]

Sounds like that might be what's happening. Give it a try and post back if it doesn't work for ya.

Answer 2

I had the same problem

Try using this compiler argument:

-locale en_US de_DE -source-path+=../locale/{locale}

change de_DE to your locale name.

Above answer worked well.. just add +=../locale{locale}

Answer 3

Try using this compiler argument:

-locale en_US de_DE -source-path+=../locale/{locale}

change de_DE to your locale name.

Answer 4

To address the said issue, go to this path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.flexunit_4.7.0.349722\flexunitSwcs\4.5\locale\en_U S You will see a FlexUnitTestRunner_rb.swc file on the said path. Create a new folder named “version4locale” under the said path and copy and paste the FlexUnitTestRunner_rb.swc to the newly created folder. You will end up with the path : C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.flexunit_4.7.0.349722\flexunitSwcs\4.5\locale\en_U S\version4locale\ having FlexUnitTestRunner_rb.swc file as well.

Answer 5

Put locales to sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\locale\en_US it works well also.
