var someValue:Number = 2.0480531167374427; // want to show only 3 decimal places? trace(someValue.toFixed(3)); // outputs 2.048
An easy way to get rid of extra decimal values. This is useful when you want to show decimal values in text fields. I only recently noticed this in the docs, I used to do this type of thing:
trace(int(someValue * 1000) / 1000); // outputs 2.048
Nice, I should read the docs more 😛
It would be easier if the docs were a bit more readable 🙂
that is probably also true, especially the new docs in cs4, just plain terrible how its set up.
yeah. They should at least have an option to download the help locally…. maybe they do…. I heard about the help being browser only before it was released and I really hoped that they would change it…. too bad they didn’t.
