Dear Kirupa Members,

I have a problem with the flash text box showing decimal values. Like displaying “0.000” formatted upto three decimal point. This has to update with the slider selecting the number. That means I cannot change it into string. Thus the problem is - for example- the value displayed like “0.04” -should display correctly like “0.040”. ? Please help me. I have to develop some physics simulations soon and numbers are important.

Looking forward for some help.

Sincerely,  
Rabi
