Hi all,
I'm trying to have a field member always display 4 decimal places as the user enters a
dollar amount. I've tried adding the (set the floatPrecision = 4) to the movie script
but when I test by typing into the field, it doesn't display the decimal or the 4
decimal places to the right. Can anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong?
Thanx again,
g fritzinger
on startMovie
set the floatPrecision = n
end
--n is the number of decimal places included
