Classpublic class CurrencyFormatter
InheritanceCurrencyFormatter Inheritance Formatter Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1


Starting with Flex 4.5, Adobe recommends that you use the spark.formatters.CurrencyFormatter class as an alternative to this class.

The CurrencyFormatter class formats a valid number as a currency value. It adjusts the decimal rounding and precision, the thousands separator, and the negative sign; it also adds a currency symbol. You place the currency symbol on either the left or the right side of the value with the alignSymbol property. The currency symbol can contain multiple characters, including blank spaces.

If an error occurs, an empty String is returned and a String that describes the error is saved to the error property. The error property can have one of the following values:

  • "Invalid value" means an invalid numeric value is passed to the format() method. The value should be a valid number in the form of a Number or a String.
  • "Invalid format" means one of the parameters contains an unusable setting.

MXML SyntaxexpandedHide MXML Syntax

The <mx:CurrencyFormatter> tag inherits all of the tag attributes of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:

  <mx:CurrencyFormatter
    alignSymbol="left|right" 
    currencySymbol="$"
    decimalSeparatorFrom="."
    decimalSeparatorTo="."
    precision="-1"
    rounding="none|up|down|nearest"
    thousandsSeparatorFrom=","
    thousandsSeparatorTo=","
    useNegativeSign="true|false"
    useThousandsSeparator="true|false"
 />

Property Detail

alignSymbol

property
alignSymbol:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Aligns currency symbol to the left side or the right side of the formatted number. Permitted values are "left" and "right".

The default value is "left".



Implementation
    public function get alignSymbol():String
    public function set alignSymbol(value:String):void

currencySymbol

property 
currencySymbol:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Character to use as a currency symbol for a formatted number. You can use one or more characters to represent the currency symbol; for example, "$" or "YEN". You can also use empty spaces to add space between the currency character and the formatted number. When the number is a negative value, the currency symbol appears between the number and the minus sign or parentheses.

The default value is "$".



Implementation
    public function get currencySymbol():String
    public function set currencySymbol(value:String):void

decimalSeparatorFrom

property 
decimalSeparatorFrom:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Decimal separator character to use when parsing an input string.

The default value is ".".



Implementation
    public function get decimalSeparatorFrom():String
    public function set decimalSeparatorFrom(value:String):void

decimalSeparatorTo

property 
decimalSeparatorTo:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0

Decimal separator character to use when outputting formatted decimal numbers.

The default value is ".".



Implementation
    public function get decimalSeparatorTo():String
    public function set decimalSeparatorTo(value:String):void

precision

property 
precision:Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Number of decimal places to include in the output String. You can disable precision by setting it to -1. A value of -1 means do not change the precision. For example, if the input value is 1.453 and rounding is set to NumberBaseRoundType.NONE, return 1.453. If precision is -1 and you set some form of rounding, return a value based on that rounding type.

The default value is -1.



Implementation
    public function get precision():Object
    public function set precision(value:Object):void

rounding

property 
rounding:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3

The default value is NumberBaseRoundType.NONE.



Implementation
    public function get rounding():String
    public function set rounding(value:String):void
