[RESOLVED] How to show only two digits after dot?

[Shnitzel]

Hi,
I have function returning me a number between 0 and 1. The code works fine but I want to show the number in a dynamic text box.
The problem is that it shows the full number like so: 0.12975439
I want to show only 2 digits after the dot, like so: 0.12

How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Can you not use the Math.round function or something similiar....

Well if I do that it rounds it to either 0 or 1.

hmm.. i think you might have to write a fancy function to do this, there's no prebuilt method.. the closest thing i can think of is maxChars, but I believe that only works if the user tries to type in a textfield, dynamic code driven content would override this...

how are you creating your random number? When I try it I always get a round number:
trace(random(3));//outputs 0,1 or 2

I'm not exactly searching for a random number. I kind of get numeric values of all sorts of stuff from files loaded to file (Like photos - I get their size in bytes then I turned it to megabytes).

var num:Number = 0.4431325432;
num = Math.round(num*100)/100;
