Numbers with "," and "."

[mbeat]

Hi:
Does someone knows how can i put a , or a . between numbers so i can display an amount of money, but i can still use them as values so i can add them.

Thanks
Mariana

dollars = 10;
cents = 56;


dollars +=10;
money_display = "$"+dollars+"."+cents;

trace(money_display);

dollars *=10;

I suppose that if I answer that... It's then going to be...

But how can I format 1,000,000,000.00...

Ask George, he's about to spend more than that!

[gSOLO_01]

sorry... let me fix that.

thanks a lot i have it.

on (press){

var _array2 = new Array();
var _array = texto.split("");
_array.reverse();
for (var i = 0; i < _array.length; i++) {
_array2.push(_array[i]);
if (!((i + 1) % 3) && _array.length > 3) {
_array2.push(",");
}
}
texto2 = _array2.reverse().join("");
}

[oldnewbie]

Send it to George!

TextField.prototype.toNumber = function(decimal) {
	var _array = this.text.split("");
	var _array2 = new Array();
	var _array3 = ["."];
	for (var ii = 0; ii < decimal; ii++) {
		_array3.push(_array.pop());
	}
	_array.reverse();
	for (var i = 0; i < _array.length; i++) {
		_array2.push(_array[i]);
		if (!((i + 1) % 3) && _array.length > 3 && _array.length - 1 != i) {
			_array2.push(",");
		}
	}
	this.text = _array2.reverse().concat(_array3).join("");
};
_txt.toNumber(2);

[gSOLO_01]

oh... I could have done that, you said you wanted decimals too

[oldnewbie]

Send both to George!

Hi:

Yes i preferably nead decimals but your code has a but 'cause if i input for example 5000.423423 i will get 50,00.,423,423.

Thanks

There has to be an easier way. I had a play with gSolo's stuff to get decimal formatting. This works, but it looks a bit Kludgey to me.

function format_number(num, decimalplaces) {
    var before_the_point;
    var after_the_point;
    var _array;
    var _output;
    after_the_point = num.toString().split(".")[1];
    switch (decimalplaces) {
    case 0 :
        num = Math.round(num);
        after_the_point = "";
    case undefined :
        break;
    default :
        after_the_point = Number("0."+after_the_point);
        after_the_point *= Math.pow(10, decimalplaces);
        after_the_point = Math.round(after_the_point).toString();
    }
    before_the_point = num.toString().split(".")[0];
    _array = return_comma_separated_array(before_the_point.split(""));
    _output += _array.reverse().join("");
    if( after_the_point.length ) {
    _array = return_comma_separated_array(after_the_point.split("").reverse());
    _output += "."+_array.join("");
    }
    return _output;
}
function return_comma_separated_array(_array) {
    // Array size will change during the loop
    var _itmax = _array.length;
    var _array2 = new Array();
    for (var i = 0; i<_itmax; i++) {
        if (!(i%3) && i>0) {
            _array2.push(",");
        }
        _array2.push(_array.pop());
    }
    return _array2;
}
trace(format_number(123456789.298, 0));
trace(format_number(369.98, 0));
trace(format_number(2468.123456));
trace(format_number(123456789.2, 0));

on (press){
var _array = texto.split(".");
var _array2 = _array [0];
var texto2 = _array2
var _array3= texto2.split ("");
_array3.reverse();
var _array4= new Array ();
var _array5 = ["."];
for (var i = 0; i < _array3.length; i++) {
_array4.push(_array3[i]);
if (!((i + 1) % 3) && _array3.length > 3 && _array3.length - 1 != i) {
_array4.push(",");
}
}

texto2 =_array4.reverse().concat(".").concat( _array [1]).join("");

}

You don't separate the numbers after the point in that.

[mbeat]

yes thats the point

[AlsoGaiusCoffey]

I missed that, why do you want to format the one and not the other?

123,456,789.234896

looks odd compared with

123,456,789.234,896

[mbeat]

well i dont know in other parts but in mexico when your are working with currency numbers you dont separate with comas the numbers after the dot.
