Chris Martin updated FLEX-34878:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Steps to reproduce:

Build an application from the following code:
{code:actionscript}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="onCC();">
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import mx.formatters.NumberFormatter;

        private function onCC():void
        {
            var nf:NumberFormatter = new NumberFormatter();
            nf.precision = 2;
            resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh-Hans'];
            trace("number:"+nf.format(1/3));
            trace("error: " + nf.error);
        } 
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
</mx:WindowedApplication>
{code}

Compile the application but do not compile in a locale resource set for zh-Hans. Only compile in 'en_US'.

Test the application and note that the first trace statement will return blank and the second trace statement of the error property returns null.

Because the zh-Hans locale was not compiled in we are unable to know what language to use to display the default error message of "Invalid format".

Would like to add in a comment into the asdocs informing the user that if none of the locales in the localeChain property of the ResourceManager are not compiled in, then it will return null.
