Show it as string, I mean internally calculate as number then convert number
to string and show in the textfield....
I wrote a quick & dirty routine, that might help you.....There might be a
better way to do, this is what I have done using string operations...
<code>
function getDecimalString(n:Number):String
{
var s:String = n.toString();
if(n.toString().indexOf("e-")!=-1) {
var arr = n.toString().split("e-");
var v1 = Number(arr[0]);
var v2 = Number(arr[1]);
s = "0.";
var i = 0;
while(i++<v2) s+="0";
var s1 = v1.toString();
s+= s1.length>1 ? s1.split(".").join("") : s1;
}
return s;
}
</code>
An example:
####DecimalToString.mxml####
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<mx:Application width="800" height="600"
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function getDecimalString(n:Number):String
{
var s:String = n.toString();
if(n.toString().indexOf("e-")!=-1) {
var arr = n.toString().split("e-");
var v1 = Number(arr[0]);
var v2 = Number(arr[1]);
s = "0.";
var i = 0;
while(i++<v2) s+="0";
var s1 = v1.toString();
s+= s1.length>1 ? s1.split(".").join("") : s1;
}
return s;
}
function setOutput()
{
out_ti.text = getDecimalString(parseFloat(in_ti.text));
}
]]>

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Number Format issue. 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
