How do I get my text fields to populate correctly and show single digits?
Description
Each textfield receives a substring. This doesn't limit it's input, because the text fields shows extra numbers.
The counters are set to 2,200,000.00, just to see if the numbers are populating. Ex A is the one I'm trying to fix.
Ex A the one I want to fix

Ex A has 10 text objects, each with a pair of text fields. It’s move complex than Ex B, because it has a Y animation and pairs of numbers. The text objects are animated to create a scrolling effect. It moves vertically, and has a lead number and a catch up number contained in each symbol. See illustration for more description.
Ex B work fine! for example only
//STRING SPLITTER COUNTER with nine individual text fields
//Timer settings

timer.start();
//Integer values
var count:int = 0;
var fcount:int = 0;
//Format Count
function formatCount(i:int):String {
var fraction:int = i % 100;
var whole:int = i / 100;
return ("0000000" + whole).substr(-7, 7) + "." + (fraction < 10 ? "0" + fraction : fraction);
}
//Split strings off to individual text fields
function incrementCounter(event:TimerEvent) {
count++;
fcount=int(count+220000000)
var toText:String = formatCount(fcount);
mytext9.text = toText.substr(9, 9);
