eg var num:Number = new Number(3000)
Alert.show(*new String(num)*);//outputs $3,000.
This would be my solution. Save myself the headache, or make an internal
method.
private function myNums(pNum:Number):String{
return new String(pNum);
}
I'm sure you could find a way in some other class to extend and add this in.
Isn't it the obejct class that has the toString()? Not the String class its
self?
