The displayFormatFunction property was added in build 4228. Download Adobe Flex Gumbo SDK.

Full code after the jump.

According to the [beta] documentation on [...]]]> The following example shows how you can format the value displayed in a Flex Gumbo FxNumericStepper control by setting a custom display format function using the displayFormatFunction property.

The displayFormatFunction property was added in build 4228. Download Adobe Flex Gumbo SDK.

Full code after the jump.

According to the [beta] documentation on the dataFormatFunction property:

Callback function that formats the value displayed in the text input field. The function takes a single Number as an argument and returns a formatted String.

The function has the following signature:

funcName(value:Number):String

The default value is undefined.

To use the following code, you must have Flash Player 10 and a Flex Gumbo SDK installed in your Flex Builder 3. For more information on downloading and installing the Gumbo SDK into Flex Builder 3, see “Using the beta Gumbo SDK in Flex Builder 3″.
