**Decimal Help**

[The_Ivanator]

Hey Guys,

I am very new to flash and I have finished my calculator!

But when you put a decimal into the dynamic text, then it calculates without the decimal.

If you are confused, here is an example.

20 / 5.5 = 4

10 / 2.2 = 5

3.2 / 2 = 1.6

3.2 + 2 = 5

I really need help.

Regards,

Ivan

you can use the flash string methods to add periods and trailing zeros.

[The_Ivanator]

How can I do that?

[kglad]

pass formatF() the number you want formatted and the number of decimal places you want displayed

function formatF(n:Number,dec:uint):String {

    var p:Number=Math.pow(10,dec);
    var nS=String(Math.round(n*p)/p);
    if (dec==0) {
        return nS;
    }
    if (nS.indexOf(".")>-1) {
        var a:Array=n.toString().split(".");
    } else {
        var a:Array=[nS,"0"];
    }
    while (a[1].length<dec) {
        a[1]=a[1]+"0";
    }
    return a[0]+"."+a[1];
}

So lets so in one of the two textboxes there is a decimal.

And the on with a decimal is anonymous, how would it be formatted?

And the number of Decimal places anonymous?

function formatF(n:text_input_2.text,dec:10):String {

    var p:Number=Math.pow(10,dec);

    var nS=String(Math.round(n*p)/p);

    if (dec==0) {

        return nS;

    }

    if (nS.indexOf(".")>-1) {

        var a:Array=n.toString().split(".");

    } else {        var a:Array=[nS,"0"];    }    while (a[1].length<dec) {        a[1]=a[1]+"0";    }    return a[0]+"."+a[1];}

I have 2 input textboxes

t1 and t2

and my code:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fC);

function fC(evt:MouseEvent)
{
trace(Number(t1.text)/Number(t2.text));
}

and always get decimal

I do get a decimal when I divide 2 / 3.

0.666666666666666666666666

But when one of my textboxes = a decimal then I get a round.

8 * 4.5 = 36

What I get is 32.

8 + 1.5 = 9

[Guest]

show code please.

[The_Ivanator]

Well, is it necessary?

[kglad]

hh is trying to be helpful but doesn't understand the issue.  use the code i suggested.

[The_Ivanator]

OK!!

Since I am new to flash, do you mind modifying it so that it shows the decimal of the operation between the two textboes?

[kglad]

copy and paste the code you're using that's related to those two textfields.
