Well, I had to do the same thing a month or so back. I needed a flash form for our unitedway project. I could not find any way to do it in AS. That does not mean there is not away, just after spending a few hours on it I thought of a an easier way that would work.
I used flash remote to fix the problem. I pass the number to coldfusion use it's dollarformat function to format the value and return it back to form. Works great and very fast.
