Christian,


This page at macromedia shows how to format a textfield to add decimal

places:


http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/decimal_places.htm


Here's the code from that page, which you could modify to use commas

where needed:


Set Variable: "testString" = testValue*100 

Set Variable: "testLength" = Length(testString) 

Set Variable: "testValue" = Substring(testString,1,testLength-2) & "." &

               Substring(testString,testLength-1,2) 


Regards,

Helen
