Hi Sid, thanks for the reply. I tried your first solution since I did not create a custom function and it returns;
1067: Implicit coercion of value of type Number to an unrelated type Class I have a vague understanding of what is occurring here. Any way around it? How difficult would it be to modify or create a custom function? What I have now is simply: <mx:NumberFormatter id="PrepForDisplay" precision="2" rounding="up" decimalSeparatorTo="." thousandsSeparatorTo="," useThousandsSeparator="true" useNegativeSign="true"/> -- Blair Cox http://www.luminultra.com From: Sid Maskit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 07:51:38 -0700 (PDT) To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify? If the format function is a custom function you have written, you could just have it check whether you like the result it is about to return, and if not, return something else. If that is not the case, I believe that you should be able to put tests into your binding statement. You could test for NaN with something like this: <mx:Label text="{(myNumber is NaN) ? 0 : PrepForDispl ay.format( myNumber) }"/> I'm not sure about infinity, but I assume that you can test for this by looking for the greatest possible value of the number. Assuming that you have set up the variable maxValue to contain that value, you should be able to do something like this: <mx:Label text="{(myNumber > maxValue) ? 0 : PrepForDispl ay.format( myNumber) }"/> If you put the two together, it would look something like this: <mx:Label text="{(myNumber is NaN) ? 0 : (myNumber > maxValue) ? 0 : PrepForDispl ay.format( myNumber) }"/> Sid Maskit Partner CraftySpace Better Websites for a Better World http://www.CraftySpace.com blog: http://smaskit.blogspot.com/
