Hi,
You can check out ascb (ActionScript Cook Book), a library with
some useful
functions. In this case, the class NumberFormat, and the method
format may
do the job.

Almost any formatNumber method you can find in many other libraries
will
help you too, except for some reason you want to roll your own.

hey
i am using regexp to inject commas into my years by searching for
000 and
replacing with ,000 like this
var pattern:RegExp = /000/;
sYear = sYear.replace(pattern, ",000");
however, this approach will bug every multiple of 10,000 as there
are more
zeros than the pattern expects.
is there a way of counting back from the end of the number and
inserting
the comma (even without a regular expression)? if i use the g
modifier in
the regexp (so var pattern:RegExp = /000/g;), it will only pick up
the first
000 (and every multiple thereafter) instead of leaving the first 0
(which is
expected behaviour but something i'd like to get around)
would you use an if statement to count the length of the sYear
string or is
there a better way?
at the moment, because i know that i only need years from 15,000
bc, i'm
doing this:
var sYear:String = String(nYear);
if (sYear.length > 5)
{
if (sYear != "-10000")
{
var pattern:RegExp = /000/;
sYear = sYear.replace(pattern,
",000");
} else {
var pattern:RegExp = /0000/;
sYear = sYear.replace(pattern,
"0,000");
}
}
which is a bit hacky and limited
interested to hear your answer
