That’s right. Clicking in the text input of the stepper component will show the raw, un-formatted value. You’ll notice the same behavior on the currency formatter. This is the expected behavior.

One thing I have noticed with this kind of method is if a maximum value has been set on the stepper and you keep mouse down on the nextButton then the value will display un-formatted :( The way to overcome this is as equally simple as your tasty example and that is to run the doFormat() method on BUTTON_DOWN. Cheers, Simon Hey good stuff!

I'm not sure of the difference between MXML declaration and AS construction that causes it, but if you change the functions as follows it will compile and render properly: private function doFormat(event:Event = null):void { if (_formatter != null && mx_internal::inputField != null && mx_internal::inputField.text != null) { mx_internal::inputField.text = _formatter.format(value); } } private function unFormat(event:Event = null):void { if (_formatter != null && mx_internal::inputField != null && mx_internal::inputField.text != null) { mx_internal::inputField.text = String(value); } } Another odd behavior that I observed was that if you declare a Formatter in a VBox I couldn't get the MXML component to compile, but if it was within an HBox it would.

I never tested the component the way you're describing it being used - so hopefully you'll come up with a good solution and let me know about it! Thanks. Glad to hear it’s handy.

I get an exception because mx_internal::inputField is null so the mx_internal::inputField.text assignment in doFormat fails. Otherwise, great component and very handy functionality. Thanks Scot!

I have updated the example to use an item editor / renderer in the Data Grid. For a good resource on getting started with item editors, take a look at: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/creating_item_editors/ gif - Thanks for suggesting an example using an item editor.

Else, we might have had to re-write the listener code into the class itself. great work here, Thanks to Flex 3 making the listeners of buttons mx_internal.
