I just had an enquiry on how to format currency in flash 8 or ActionScript 2.I thought it would be handy if I put it in an article so everyone can use it.As you probably already know ActionScript2 doesn’t have it's own built in currency formatting function, so you have to provide your own.This example is from one of the currency formatting functions I have used for several years. It's relatively simple in what it does, but in my view simple is good.First of all, for those of you that want to know how to call the function, here is an example. newFormatedVariable = formatAsDollars(yourVariable);Now for the function itself which is fairly straight forward .Firstly we give the function a name.function formatAsDollars(amount){Then we test to see if it is a number. if (isNaN(amount)) { return ("0.00"); } // end ifNext we round it. amount = Math.round(amount * 100) / 100; var curr6 = String(amount);and split it at the decimal point var curr3 = curr6.split(".");and place the results in an array. if (curr3[1] == undefined) { curr3[1] = "00"; } // end if if (curr3[1].length == 1) { curr3[1] = curr3[1] + "0"; } // end ifAfter testing the values in each part of the array for length, we can then append the necessary zero if it needs it. var curr4 = new Array(); var curr2;We loop through the array for (var curr1 = curr3[0].length; curr1 > 0; curr1 = curr2) {We round up curr2 = Math.max(curr1 - 3, 0); curr4.unshift(curr3[0].slice(curr2, curr1)); } // end of forNow we rejoin the dollars and the cents curr3[0] = curr4.join(""); return ("" + curr3.join("."));} // End of the functionAnd out put the result._root.onEnterFrame = function (){ text_two.text = formatAsDollars(text_one.text);}; If

When I first started to build web applications with flash I had a bit of difficulty with the datagrid. I most of my web applications the datagrid is one of the most useful components. However, when you're new the DataGrid can be a little intimidating to get it to produce the results you want. I am going to give you a few tips on how to get a Flash DataGrid component to read data from a MySQL database.
The InfoBox class creates a pop-up box which can contain an image, a title, a description and a link. It comes in handy in spots where you need to display additional information, but don't have the room, or don't want to dedicate the necessary space. With just a few lines of code, you can add it to any project.
This is a reusable class that you can drop into any project to pop up a word bubble containing some explanatory text, a warning, a reminder, whatever. It works like a tool tip for Flash.
