That seems like a bug, the reason it’s
pulling the exponent is probably because of that hyphen after the e, it parsed
the number incorrectly as -4 and -12. Not sure of the workaround without
playing around and unfortunately I don’t have time at the moment. Sorry,
please file it if you can! Matt From:
flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Brueckmann Hey
guys...I saw in the archive there was a long thread about decimals and the
NumberFormatter but none of them really addressed what I'm encountering so I
figured I'd throw this out there to see if anyone else has seen this behavior
and if they're simply converting the number to a string as a workaround or if
there is something valid I can do to handle this situation: I'm
getting XML from the database that contains a whole slew of calculations.
We're parsing the XML and populating a datagrid with this data and on the cells
showing the numbers I have a custom cell renderer that simply uses a
NumberFormatter to ensure negative numbers are represented with parentheses and
all numbers are rounded to a precision of 3 decimal places as well as some
additional logic to ensure negative numbers are colored red. Well, when
we get small numbers and ActionScript internally represents them in exponential
format, for example, 9.6345e-4...oddly, the number being displayed in the
datagrid is (4.000)
Another number being returned is 3.3123e-12 and what's being shown in the
datagrid is (12.000). Why
the heck is the number formatter ignoring the actual number and simply applying
the formatter to the exponent value?! I would expect for both of these
numbers, the resulting value would simply be .000, no? Any
help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, robert
