RE: [flexcoders] Number Format issue. I need help.

[Valy Sivec]

 

Your example works fine as long as “totalAmt” is a number, formatting will work as expected.

My problem has a different context, though:

I have 2 text inputs, both of them are being formatted using the regular NumberFormatted. I’m trying to get the numbers out of the 2 text boxes, add them up and format the result. The form is a regular data entry screen; I’m retrieving the text input as textInput.text which gives me back the formatted number. So in order to get back a number I use parseFloat(formattedString).

If the number is 0.00004 (more than 5 decimals), I get back 4e-5, in scientific notation.  I’d like to be able to get back 0.00004 and to format it properly.

 

Thanks.

Valy…in your MXML file, create a NumberFormatter component like this (setting the precision to what you need):

 

<mx:NumberFormatter id="numberformatter" precision="8" useThousandsSeparator="true" useNegativeSign="true"/>

 

And then on the field that displays your total…if it’s a label or something, do this:

 

<mx:Label id=”total” text=”{numberformatter.format(totaAmt)}” />

 

Or something to that affect…

I spent some time without figuring out a way to format
a number in double precision.

I have a grid and below it a total field that should
sum the grid colums.  When I enter in the grid columns
values as 0.00000008, 0.00000001 the result field
displays 9e-8, which is correct but I would like to
display it as 0.00000009 instead.... Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Valy
