Question

I would like to format a number to display 00 instead of 0, and 01, 02…10, 11,

Answer 1

Perhaps this is presumptive of me but are you trying to represent seconds or minutes in some sort of time display? With Flex one way to do that would be to use the Date object and the DateFormatter. That way you can provide format strings to output your time however you want.

var seconds:int = 4;

var date:Date = new Date();
date.seconds = seconds;

var formatter:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
formatter.formatString = "SS";

trace(formatter.format(date));
