Dynamic text numbers, add comma

[tetuan]

Need to add commas for formatting numbers to a dynamic text field. For example, 11000 should read 11,000.

Anyone have a quick script that would take care of this?

thanks

Well, after some trial and error I got it to work.

This won't work for numbers greater than xxx,xxx but works in this case.


textnumber = 1242;
textnumber = textnumber.toString();
textnumber = (textnumber.slice(-5,-3))+","+(textnumber.slice(-3));

var money = 999999999;
money = money.toString();
money = (money.slice(-9,-6))+","+(money.slice(-6,-3))+","+(money.slice(-3));

This works all u have to do is keep adding on to the code, say you want to go into the billions, you would need to add " (money.slice(-12,-9))+","+ " in front of the equal sign.

So if your variable was 100239100293 it would show up 100,239,100,293 instead of 100239,100,293 with the previous code.

I tried this and when I run a trace on value for my dynamic field I see the comma but I get NaN in my Dynamic Text Display

huh?

what is 'value'?

what is your code? you havent given us anything to work with?

var money = 999999999;
money = money.toString();
money = (money.slice(-9,-6))+","+(money.slice(-6,-3))+","+(money.slice(-3));
trace("MONEY: "+money);

someTextField_txt.text = money;

seems to work fine for me
