RE: [flexcoders] Number Format issue. I need help.

Valy…in your MXML file, create a NumberFormatter component like this (setting the precision to what you need):   <mx:NumberFormatter id="numberformatter" precision="8" useThousandsSeparator="true" useNegativeSign="true"/>   And then on the field that displays your total…if it’s a label or something, do this:   <mx:Label id=”total” text=”{numberformatter.format(totaAmt)}” />   Or something to that affect…   Robert L.

I need help.   I spent some time without figuring out a way to format a number in double precision. I have a grid and below it a total field that should sum the grid colums.  When I enter in the grid columns values as 0.00000008, 0.00000001 the result field displays 9e-8, which is correct but I would like to display it as 0.00000009 instead.... Any suggestions? Thanks, Valy --- Valy Sivec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I have some some number formatted form elements that > I > need to sum up.
