Recently I was asked if I know how to show a number with a fixed number of digits after the decimal point. Here is how it can be done:

var num:Number = 12.3456;
trace(num.toFixed(2));// => 12.34

ATTENTION: This method toFixed returns String. If you want to have a Number after using this method you should use casting or:

var num:Number = 12.3456;
var num2:Number = Number(num.toFixed(2));
// => returns Number not String
