FLASH: Limiting number of decimal places in a variable?

[Stephen J. Pintauro]

Hello all,

I am playing with some arithmetic calculations in a Flash page.  It is

pretty straightforward, however, i cannot figure out how to limit the

number of decimal places in a calculation.  For example, when a user

enters their weight in pounds, i use a "set variable" function to

convert that to kilograms.  So, if they enter 155 pounds, the "set

variable" function calculates the value of the variable "kilograms" to

155 / 2.2 = 70.4545454545.  How can I get it to set the variable to

70.46?

Thanks in advance,

Stephen Pintauro
