Re: FLASH: Make number to 2 decimal places.. HELP!

[Helen Triolo]

And here's some exact code that should work (for Flash 4):


Set Variable: "num" = int(x*100+0.5)  // to round to the nearest

hundredth

If (num < 10)

    Set Variable: "formatted" = "0.0" & num

Else If (num < 100)

    Set Variable: "formatted" = "0." & num

Else

    Set Variable: "formatted" = substring(num, 1, length(num)-2) & "." &

substring(num, length(num)-1)

End If
