First the setLocale() method creates a LocaleID object. This object makes it easier to get details about the actual locale
later, if needed.
Next it creates new NumberFormatter, CurrencyFormatter, and DateTimeFormatter objects for the locale. After
creating each formatter object it calls the traceError() method. This method displays error and warning messages in
the console if there is a problem with the requested locale. (A real application should react based on such errors rather
than just tracing them).
After creating the CurrencyFormatter object, the setLocale() method sets the formatter’s currency ISO code, currency
symbol, and fractionalDigits properties to previously determined values. (Those values are set each time the user
selects a new market from the Markets combo box).
After creating the DateTimeFormatter object, the setLocale() method also retrieves an array of localized month name
abbreviations.

The formatted stock data is presented in a DataGrid control. The DataGrid columns each call a label function that
formats the column value using the appropriate formatter object.
In the Flash version, for example, the following code sets up the DataGrid columns:
