Hello all,

I've got a dynamic text field in Flash that displays the results of a variable equation, the problem is it shows the results to about 5 decimal places!

I'm sure this is very simple to sort out, but I've forgotten how to make sure that the result (in the text field) is rounded up to a whole number.

Cheers, James

it's not to do with your text field not being big/long enough by any chance? Physically, that is..

well it kind of works (shortening the text field) but it doesn't work when the numbers change from 1, to 2 or 3 figured numbers - seems a bit cowboy!
Thanks though

There is a way to do it properly, but I can't remember how. Keep looking..
