CONVERT NUMBER TO STRING

This button can be very a very useful conversion button.  When you click on the button, you are asked to enter a number.  The number will then be converted to a string.

You can set the variables DOLLARPHRASE and CENTPHRASE to false if you don't need the words DOLLARS or CENTS added to the phrase.



If this script were put into the background of the card, (except for the mouseUp portion) you could convert a number to a phrase anytime simply by using  NUMTOSTRING(number).

Example:
put NUMTOSTRING(450) into card field id 2


-- part contents for card part 3
