About the Strings panel
The Strings panel lets you create and update multilingual content. You can specify content for
text fields that span multiple languages, and have Flash automatically determine the content
that should appear in a certain language based on the language of the computer that is
running Flash Player.
For general information on the Strings panel, and how to use it in your applications, see the
following topics in Using Flash:
"Authoring multilanguage text with the Strings panel" on page 370
"About editing strings in the Strings panel" on page 374
"Translating text in the Strings panel or an XML file" on page 379
"Importing an XML file into the Strings panel" on page 380
You can use the Locale class to control how multilanguage text is displayed. For more
information, see "Using the Locale class" on page 453
in the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
