Nope! I’m on my way to MAX Asia Pacific 2006, and am presenting in both Taipei and Singapore. This will be really exciting for a first time presentation gig. I’ll be presenting on the following 3 topics (all of which are the same, or very similar to the topics presented last week at MAX in Las Vegas by David Zuckerman, Mark Shepherd and Christophe Coenraets) -

Combining Flex with PHP and Open Source
Building Rich Internet Applications with Flex Builder
Combining Flex and Flash Media Server for the Ultimate Engaging Experience

Looks like I better polish up my demo’s on the plane :-p

Cheers!

Hi Ted,

I’m glad you liked the content. I really hope that the people who attended MAX can walk away with something new, whether it be a new idea, a new way of thinking, or that they learnt something new.

Thanks for coming to see my sessions, I really appreciate it!

Happy flex’ing!

Hi, Andrew

Remember we have a photo taken in the MAX 2006 in Taipei ?!
I would like to send it to you, but I forgot to get your name card!
Please write a email to me, ok ?! My email is tedyeng@gmail.com

By the way, the question I asked you about “Localizing Flex Applications”, I found the answer in the developer guide and implemented a simple login box Flex app. to support English, traditional Chinese, and Simplied Chinese.

I also used AMFPHP to get the default language of user’s browser and changed the language of login box.

It is ok when I used firefox and safari, but not IE.

I found my PHP program got empty value of $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] using AMFPHP through IE.

I posted the problem in the AMFPHP mailing list!

if you have any idea, please give me a hint!

Thank you very much ^^

PS: my app. is http://blog.tmu.edu.tw/tedyeng/Flex/Login/

Change the default language of browser (en_US, zh_TW, and zh_CN) will change the app. language.

Hi Ted,

You could also try implementing the browser/user-agent language in JavaScript and passing the langauge to your Flex application using flashvars. Something like this may work –>

var languageinfo = navigator.language? navigator.language : navigator.userLanguage;
var language = languageinfo.substr(0,2);

This would get you two characters i.e. ‘en’ or ‘zh’ or ‘fr’ etc. I haven’t tested this code, but a few Google searches for browser langauge detection should point you in the right direction.

Cheers, Andrew
