Flex NumberFormatter according to windows

Is it possible to directly set the properties of NumberFormatter according to windows

Here's a good tutorial on how localization works in Flex:

As far as detecting the user's region and/or language you can try this in ActionScript:

Capabilities.language

Or perhaps something like this in Javascript (invoked through Flash's ExternalInterface):

var lan = ((navigator.browserLanguage) ? 
navigator.browserLanguage : 
(navigator.language) ? navigator.language : navigator.userLanguage);
