I tried it with euro and which gets placed at the end of the value. It
worked fine like earlier example
var value:int = 893829;
var cf:CurrencyFormatter = new CurrencyFormatter();
cf.currencySymbol = '€';
cf.positiveCurrencyFormat = 3;
cf.useCurrencySymbol = true;
var s:String = cf.format(value); // s = 893,829.00 €
var cfr:CurrencyParseResult = cf.parse(s);
//cfr.currencyString = "€" , cfr.value = 893829
or share your code which you trying and we'll see where it is going wrong.
