Re: [Flashcoders] isseu with a custom function in AS2

[Geografiek]

Hi Jimmi,
I made a class that does just that (and a little bit more).
I can send it to you off list if you wish.

Good morning,

I have made a function that adds interpunction marks to a value, for
example the value 10000 gets changed to 10.000, 100000 to 100.000 and
so forth.

The function work fine, but I'm trying to make it reusable so that i
can use it in a large scale project. That's where the problem comes
up.

This is what the working code looks like:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
var outputNumber:Number = 10000 // input value
var outputString:String = new String();

function init ()
{
        outputString = String(Number(outputNumber));    
        interpunk (outputString);

        trace(outputNumber); // output is 10000
        trace(outputString); // output is 10.000
}

function interpunk (par1):Void
{
        trace(par1)
        switch (par1.length)
        {
                case 4 :
                        outputString = String(par1.charAt (0) + "." + 
par1.slice (1))
                        break;

                case 5 :
                        outputString = String(par1.charAt (0) + par1.charAt (1) + 
"." +
par1.slice (2))
                        break;

                case 6 :
                        outputString = String(par1.charAt (0) + par1.charAt (1) 
+
par1.charAt (2) + "." + par1.slice (3))
                        break;

                default :
                        outputString = String(par1)
                        break;
        }
}

init ();

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

So i tried to make it reusable, so i tried this(changed  
outputString to par1).
But now the value comes out unchanged so 10000 stays 10000, while i
expected it to become 10.000.


I hope someone can help i the right direction.

This is what the non working code looks like :

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function interpunk (par1):Void
{
        trace(par1)
        switch (par1.length)
        {
                case 4 :
                        par1 = String(par1.charAt (0) + "." + par1.slice (1))
                        break;

                case 5 :
			par1 = String(par1.charAt (0) + par1.charAt (1) + "." +  
par1.slice (2))
                        break;

                case 6 :
                        par1 = String(par1.charAt (0) + par1.charAt (1) + 
par1.charAt (2) +
"." + par1.slice (3))
                        break;

                default :
                        par1 = String(par1)
                        break;
        }
}
