Classpublic class Locale
InheritanceLocale Inheritance Object

You can use this class to query the current Locale. The locale is settlable through the XML configuration file,an mxmlc compiler argument or through Flex builder. However, locale is not settable through the Locale class at run time. The framework currently supports en_US and ja_JP only. However, you can create properties files for any language and keep them under a locale folder, such as fr_FR for French. eg: Locale.getCurrent(Application.application.systemManager).country returns the current country.
