OK, this time I tried it before sending the answer.  It works.  I'll

post the swf later (when I get back from dinner) if you want.  ;-)


On (Release)

      Set Variable: "m" = int(input/1000000)

      Set Variable: "k" = int((input - m*1000000)/1000) 

      Set Variable: "d" = input-(m*1000000+k*1000)

      Set Variable: "formatted" = m & "," & k & "," & d

End On
