We demonstrate sensitivity of the Mn 3d valence states to strain in theferromagnetic semiconductors (Ga,Mn)As and (Al,Ga,Mn)As, using x-ray magneticcircular dichroism (XMCD). The spectral shape of the Mn $L_{2,3}$ XMCD isdependent on the orientation of the magnetization, and features with cubic anduniaxial dependence are distinguished. Reversing the strain reverses the signof the uniaxial anisotropy of the Mn $L_3$ pre-peak which is ascribed totransitions from the Mn 2p core level to p-d hybridized valence band holestates. With increasing carrier localization, the $L_3$ pre-peak intensityincreases, indicating an increasing 3d character of the hybridized holes.
