I searched it for while but didn't find anything like printf in Action Script.

That makes it a little difficult to generate formated strings.

The only function I know that prints to a standard output is trace() (debug purposes only) , which can take virtually any type of variable.

I might not have understood your question, though.

Actually, I mean something like "sprinf". I don't need to send text to console. I need to generate formatted strings.

What for ?On a TextField ?Typing is very limited in AS3 (Number, int, String, basically), I think you may want to give us more details about what you want to do.

There is the Formatter classes that you could use or create custom formatters.
