In case anyone wonders this is my quick and 'easy' workaround (here in
DataGridColumn labelFunction, using a currency formatter 'valueFormat')..
The currency formatter has the currency symbol deliberately suppressed.
// DataGrid Column labelFunction (using a currency formatter called
'valueFormat').
private function formatXXX(item:Object, XXX:DataGridColumn):String{
return (Math.abs(Number(item.XXX))>=
1.0)?valueFormat.format(item.XXX):Number(item.XXX).toFixed(2);
}
<mx:CurrencyFormatter
id="valueFormat"
currencySymbol=""
decimalSeparatorTo="."
precision="2"
thousandsSeparatorTo=","/>
