I have a variable vAmount that I need to format as currency with commas and 2 decimal places. I can't find any kind of format function in actionscript. I'm using MX.

That almost does it. Actually, let me revise my need. I need commas and no decimal place.

Here is a simple function that'll round a number of to any decimal place.
---------------------------------
Math.roundTo = function(num,dp){
var d = Math.pow(10,dp);
return Math.round(num*(d+0.00000001))/d;
};
--------------------------------
example:
Math.roundTo(1.2345,2)) //1.23
You can even use negative numbers for decimal places
Math.roundTo(12345,-2)) //12300
