CODE var newsXML:XML = new XML(); newsXML.ignoreWhite = true; var output:String = ""; newsXML.onLoad = function(success) { if (success) { var news:Array = newsXML.firstChild.childNodes; output = news[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue; trace(output); badText.text = output; for (var i:Number = output.length-1; i>=0; i--) { count++; badText += output.charAt(i); if ((count%3 == 0) && (i-1>=0)) { badText += ","; } } } else { trace("XML file did not Load"); } }; newsXML.load("http://feeds2.oddsmaker.com/jackpots.xml"); Can anyone see whats wrong? Thanks, Brandon

hello,


var newsXML:XML = new XML();
newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;

var output:String = "";

newsXML.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {

        var news:Array = newsXML.firstChild.childNodes;
        output = news[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
        trace(output);
        badText.text = output;


var count=0
var temp=""
        for (var i:Number = output.length-1; i>=0; i--) {

            count++;
            temp = output.charAt(i) +temp;
            if ((count%3 == 0) && (i-1>=0)) {
                temp = ","+temp;
            }
        }
        badText.text = temp
    } else {


        trace("XML file did not Load");

    }
};


newsXML.load("http://feeds2.oddsmaker.com/jackpots.xml");

Yes, you're right.
first we have to separate the number parts(before and after the(.) )
then apply your procedure


var newsXML:XML = new XML();
newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;

var output:String = "";

newsXML.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {

        var news:Array = newsXML.firstChild.childNodes;
        output = news[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
        trace(output);
        badText.text = output;


var count=0;
var temp="";
var fix=output.toString().split(".");

        for (var i:Number = fix[0].length-1; i>=0; i--) {

            count++;
            temp = fix[0].charAt(i) +temp;
            if ((count%3 == 0) && (i-1>=0)) {
                temp = ","+temp;
            }
        }
        badText.text = temp+"."+fix[1];
    } else {


        trace("XML file did not Load");

    }
};


newsXML.load("http://feeds2.oddsmaker.com/jackpots.xml");

Also I would like it very much if you could explain a little more. I'm trying to follow but am having problems. Thank alot, Bmcc81

I guess I just needed a fresh set of eyes, the doing code the next morning always helps me see the problem. I guess I get a little frustrated. So the solution was to turn off the initial output and let the answer come out of the code that ahmad_511 wrote I also added a "$" to the begining of the data. So here it is and works great!!! CODE var newsXML:XML = new XML(); newsXML.ignoreWhite = true; var output:String = ""; newsXML.onLoad = function(success) { if (success) { var news:Array = newsXML.firstChild.childNodes; output = news[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue; trace(output); //badText.text = output; var count = 0; var temp = ""; var fix = output.toString().split("."); for (var i:Number = fix[0].length-1; i>=0; i--) { count++; temp = fix[0].charAt(i)+temp; if ((count%3 == 0) && (i-1>=0)) { temp = ","+temp; } } badText.text = "$"+temp+"."+fix[1]; // This is what gives you the excellent data //trace(badText); } else { trace("XML file did not Load"); } }; newsXML.load("http://feeds2.oddsmaker.com/jackpots.xml"); Thanks a bunch ahmad_511, Bmcc81
