What I am doing is a bit different. I need to change a currency type on the
fly. Let's say I have a value shown like this:
$1000. I need to change it to 1000 €. I thought the following code would
work:
var cf:CurrencyFormatter = new CurrencyFormatter();
var numericValue = cf.parse("$1000");
it does return a numeric value of the currency when a currency symbol in
the front, but parsing Euro that way returns NaN.
