I believe currency string here you meant was using currencyformatter?
var value:int = 893829;
var cf:CurrencyFormatter = new CurrencyFormatter();
//import spark.formatters.CurrencyFormatter;
cf.currencySymbol = '$';
cf.useCurrencySymbol = true;
var s:String = cf.format(value); // s = $893,829.00
var cfr:CurrencyParseResult = cf.parse(s);
//cfr.currencyString = "$" , cfr.value = 893829
"but it only works well with currencies which have a
currency symbol in the front."
- I'm not clear on this. Currency formatting would be used with currency
symbol. If you dont need currency symbol, you can go for NumberFormatter,
which has parseNumber method.
