How to stop auto delete of "0"

Question

Hi,
I am pulling in values from an xml and displaying them in a text field.
The issue I am having is that if the value ends with a 0 Flex is automatically dropping it.
So if I have this element in the xml;
<myXMLvalue>5.30</myXMLvalue>
It displays as "5.3".
I tried declaring it as a string like this;
myTextField.text = String(myXMLvalue);
and as
myTextField.text = myXMLvalue.toString();
but it still automatically removes the 0 at the end.
Anybody know how to disable this functionality?
Thanks.

XML node values are all string. Therefore if you do this you will get "5.30" in the TextField:
var xml:XML = <root><myXMLvalue>5.30</myXMLvalue></root>;
var textfield:TextField = new TextField();
textfield.text = xml.myXMLvalue;
addChild(textfield);
May be you're using a component or custom class that configured to parse a string to a float and display the result?
