hello
looking at the subject, the first thing that comes to
ur mind is "doesn't this guy know the number class is
a base class", but what the heck, i need some extra
functionality. Anyway this is my scenerio:
What i need is a number class with a toString() method
that outputs a currency formatted number.
eg var num:Number = new Number(3000)
Alert.show(num.toString());//outputs $3,000.
In the past i had used ItemRenderers with the
CurrencyFormatter acting on the data property. later i
got tired of itemrenderers and decided to find a more
sleek approach.My first disappointment was remembering
that the Number class is a base class, ok then next
thought was to see if i could copy the Number Class
source code from the framework, upon checking i
decided it was better not attempted.So the my last
option is the composition technique(since inheritance
was impossible). This produced some very hacky class
which am not proud of, so is there a very cool way to
solve my problem.
