RE: [flasher] RE: number -> currency

One other thing I forgot to mention...  This was written to take numbers

with multiple places after the decimal point and convert them to "2" places

after the decimal with commas, so your application may require a little

modification...

Here's some Flash 4 number formatting code I wrote (with the great help of a

programmer friend and lots o' folks on this list) sometime last year.  It's

been too long since I've revisited it, so I don't know for sure if I could

adequately explain how it works, but I use it like a function.  I put the

code in a frame labeled "commaParser" and whenever I have a number variable

defined as "input" that I needed to format, I just do a Call("commaParser")

and it returns the variable "formatted".  I hope it helps!


Here's the code:


Set Variable: "subInput" = (input - Int (input) + .005) * 100

Set Variable: "subInput2" = Int (subInput) / 100

Set Variable: "formatted" = ""

Set Variable: "i" = 0

Loop While (i < length (Int (input)) - 1)

      Set Variable: "formatted" = Substring (input, length (Int (input)) -

i, 1) & formatted

      If (Int ((i + 1) / 3) = (i + 1)/3)

            Set Variable: "formatted" = "," & formatted

      End If

      Set Variable: "i" = i + 1

End Loop

Set Variable: "formatted" = Substring (Int (input), 1, 1) & formatted

If (length (subinput2) = 3)

      Set Variable: "formatted" = formatted & Substring (subInput2, 2, 3) &

"0"

Else

      Set Variable: "formatted" = formatted & Substring (subInput2, 2, 3)

End If


Good luck with your project!

I need to format a bunch of numbers that are imported as currency. ie, add

the $ and commas. Is their a function in flash to format numbers? I havn't

found one but thought I might just be over looking it. If not, any tutorials

on doing it. I just don't feel like figuring the code out if I don't have

to...Thanks for the help...
