Hi Folks,

Something to think about - maybe you will find it useful for game-development!

```auto

Number.prototype.addZeros = function(p) {
	return new Array(p - length(this) + 1).join('0') + this;
};

// Usage: 
points = 200;
trace(points.addZeros(10)); // result: 0000000200

```

or as a class:

```auto

Score = function (points) {
        this.points = points;
};

Score.prototype.display = function(p) {
		return new Array(p - length(this.points) + 1).join('0') + this.points;        
};

myScore = new Score(200).display(10);
trace(myScore);

```

yours
