This one took a while but I think I have it. I am assuming that you are using actionscript, as this is the only way you can do this.
Here is the Code, with some comments. I called my dynamic Text Box "number". I know it is a bit long, but I tried this various ways, and this is the shortest I could come up with.
count is just a number that I used to test on.
count = 123456789.56;
if (count > 1000)
{
// Get rid of the decimal
decimal = count%1.0;
// Turn everything but the decimal into a string, as this is what you want to add comma's or periods to
output = String(count-decimal);
//Declare a new array
temp_array = new Array();
// This is just used as a holder for the string length from base 0
number_length = output.length - 1;
// Iterate over string, and add comma's where required, at every third character
for (i = 0; i < output.length; i++) {
if (i%3 == 0 && i != 0)
temp_array.push(",");
temp_array.push(output.cha
}
// Pop the items off of the stack and print them to the dynamic string on the screen for the user
while (temp_array.length)
number.text += temp_array.pop();
// Time to add the decimal
output = String(decimal);
// Remember to not add the initial 0 in the decimal. only everything from the decimal point onwards
for (i = 1; i < output.length; i++)
number.text += output.charAt(i);
}
else // If the number is smaller than 1000, use as is
number.text = count;
