Just one more question. The zero works for me, but I¹m sure I¹ll be asked to make it blank. Any hints as to how this could be accomplished? Coming from the Flash side of things, all I would be looking to do is change the alpha value of the label to zero if the value was 0.
isNaN(mynumber) ? 0 : -- Blair Cox http://www.luminultra.com From: Sid Maskit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 07:51:38 -0700 (PDT) To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify? If the format function is a custom function you have written, you could just have it check whether you like the result it is about to return, and if not, return something else. If that is not the case, I believe that you should be able to put tests into your binding statement. You could test for NaN with something like this: <mx:Label text="{(myNumber is NaN) ? 0 : PrepForDispl ay.format( myNumber) }"/> I'm not sure about infinity, but I assume that you can test for this by looking for the greatest possible value of the number. Assuming that you have set up the variable maxValue to contain that value, you should be able to do something like this: <mx:Label text="{(myNumber > maxValue) ? 0 : PrepForDispl ay.format( myNumber) }"/> If you put the two together, it would look something like this: <mx:Label text="{(myNumber is NaN) ? 0 : (myNumber > maxValue) ? 0 : PrepForDispl ay.format( myNumber) }"/> Sid Maskit Partner CraftySpace Better Websites for a Better World http://www.CraftySpace.com blog: http://smaskit.blogspot.com/
