Hi, my name is IGX and I have question :

Is there anyway in Flash to format displayed number with comma or decimal point for example : 2000000 should be displayed as 2,000,000 for more ease to our eyes, is there any available way ?

Thank you.

</div>

```auto
function fDisplayNumber(nNumber) {
	nNumber += "", nTemp = (nNumber.length)%3;
	if (nTemp>0) {
		var sTemp = nNumber.substr(0, (nNumber.length)%3)+",";
	} else {
		var sTemp = "";
	}
	for (var ii = nTemp, jj = 0; ii<nNumber.length; ii++, jj++) {
		if (jj%3 == 0) {
			sTemp += nNumber.substr(ii, 3)+",";
		}
	}
	sTemp = sTemp.substr(0, sTemp.length-1);
	return (sTemp);
}

```

that should cover the commas for you.

	for (i=0; i<=l; i++) {
		t += n.charAt(i);
		if (i<l && (l-i)%3 == 0) t += s;
	}
	return t;
}
trace(fNum(2000000, ","));

```
