Currency value
Is there a reliable way of extracting a value from a currency string?
I am using parse, but it only works well with currencies which have a
currency symbol in the front.
Thanks

Try,
var numericValue = cf.parse( stringValue.replace("$","€") );

The currency symbol and a number of characters it consists of is unknown
for existing field. The user can select any currency and I have to show a
new currency symbol right after.

This should work:
var stringValue:String = "$1000"
var numericValue:Number = parseFloat(stringValue.replace("$",""));
If you like to put the currency back use:
var cf:CurrencyFormatter = new CurrencyFormatter();
cf.currencySymbol = '€';
var stringValue:String = cf.format(numericValue);
I hope this help.

What I am doing is a bit different. I need to change a currency type on the
fly. Let's say I have a value shown like this:
$1000. I need to change it to 1000 €. I thought the following code would
work:
var cf:CurrencyFormatter = new CurrencyFormatter();
var numericValue = cf.parse("$1000");
it does return a numeric value of the currency when a currency symbol in
the front, but parsing Euro that way returns NaN.

I tried it with euro and which gets placed at the end of the value. It
worked fine like earlier example
var value:int = 893829;
var cf:CurrencyFormatter = new CurrencyFormatter();
cf.currencySymbol = '€';
cf.positiveCurrencyFormat = 3;
cf.useCurrencySymbol = true;
var s:String = cf.format(value); // s = 893,829.00 €
var cfr:CurrencyParseResult = cf.parse(s);
//cfr.currencyString = "€" , cfr.value = 893829
or share your code which you trying and we'll see where it is going wrong.

Try any currency (Euro) which has a currency symbol at the end of the value.

I believe currency string here you meant was using currencyformatter?
var value:int = 893829;
var cf:CurrencyFormatter = new CurrencyFormatter();
//import spark.formatters.CurrencyFormatter;
cf.currencySymbol = '$';
cf.useCurrencySymbol = true;
var s:String = cf.format(value); // s = $893,829.00
var cfr:CurrencyParseResult = cf.parse(s);
//cfr.currencyString = "$" , cfr.value = 893829
"but it only works well with currencies which have a
currency symbol in the front."
- I'm not clear on this. Currency formatting would be used with currency
symbol. If you dont need currency symbol, you can go for NumberFormatter,
which has parseNumber method.
