I can load a variable into Flash from a .asp page fine. However, when I try and convert it to a number flash gets mad and displays NAN.I have seriously spent hours trying to figure this out!!!! I'm so frustrated because my actionscript skills are terrible!
gettime.asp code:

I'm trying to convert a string to number and no matter what I do, get strings still.
var lastDigit:Number = Number(e.target.name.charAt(e.target.name.length-1));
trace ('lastDigit is number = ' + lastDigit is Number)
And this traces false. I also tried parseInt and get a type coercion error.
Which way is the right way to convert a number to string?
ActionScript Code:
var aNumber:Number = new Number(25);
var aString:String = new String();

I am trying to get numbers from a string and have tried number(), int(), parseInt() BUT....it all works fine but they all seem to accept as a number which appears throughout the text which then messes up the calculations. Is there anyway to force it to only accept 0-9 digits?

View 3 RepliesI am working on an Flash application that reads data from XML files. I ran into an issue where when Actionscript converts strings to numbers, it returns values different from the initial numeric string. For example:
Original string: 90330135147081210 Number("90330135147081210") returns 90330135147081220
I cannot figure out why it does it. Does anyone have any idea. I tried compiling under both Flash CS3 and CS4, and it always
Here's what I'm trying to do. The user types a number, such as 12.011, in an input box. I want to check to see if the number they typed is between two numbers, such as 12 and 12.1.Therefore, I want to convert the string in the input box to a float number, not an integer, so I can check to see if it's in the correct range. How do I convert a string into a float number?
View 2 RepliesMy input textfield is called Minutes. var pMinutes = Minutes.textvar sMinutes:Number = Number(pMinutes) I use it in a timer, and when i try to add a value to Minutes (ex. 5) in the swf the timer displays 59:59, if i add a value (ex. 5) in the .fla the timer goes well but i have to add a value before exporting... so the textinput is like a normal read-only text field.

All I want to do is convert a string into a number, I thought it would be easy:
Code:
var stringNum:String="00000000537112"
var num:Number= parseInt(stringNum);
trace(num);
//Result: 179786
I have tried using Number(stringNum) aswell which does not work, all I want it to do i convert "00000000537112" into 537112.I have tried it by removing the 0s at the beginning of the string which works. Is there any way of solving this or will I have to build a function to shave off the preceding 0s?

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make a calculator that takes a number that is input and then runs it through a formula and outputs it.
Elements:
Input1_txt
Input2_txt
RadioButton1
RadioButton2
Output1_txt
Output2_txt
Output3_txt
Output4_txt
Submit_btn
What I am trying to do is:
part 1. Take the input number of Input1_txt and if RadioButton1 is selected then divide Input1_txt by 2.20462262 but if RadioButton2 is selected then just take the number in Input_txt.
part 2. The outcome of part 1 to be multiplied by (100 minus Input2_txt) then divided by 100.
part 3. When Submit_btn is pressed outputs:
Output1_txt = The result of part 1 minus the answer of part 2, then multiplyed by 2.20462262 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output2_txt = The answer of part 2 multiplyed by 2.20462262 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output3_txt = The result of part 1 minus the answer of part 2 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output4_txt = The answer of part 2 (and rounded to the closest whole number)

Have not been here for year. Things have changed.I am strating a little research on a little project I am interested in doing.It seems like a totally easy task, and I am already finding a lot of info.I also hope I am posting in the right place... please direct me if I don't.Bottom line of my question:I need to load to flash a number from an external txt file that gets update every 20 seconds and show the change (in the swf). That's pretty much it.
I havnt played with actionscript in years, but since it seems as an easy task I though it won't hurt to ask for directions here while looking and searching.

View 12 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 Actionscript 2. I'm loading an external file (it used to be an XML file but now it is an aspx file). Anyway, my actionscript for loading the file looks like this:
xmlFile = "flash/info.aspx?id=1"
Which works great with the aspx file I've created. But I need the "id=1" to append a dynamic number instead of the "1".
I wonder if there is a possibility to load external files to flash, when I know only their source catalog.Normally I'd use xml file with names or write some php script, but is there some way to load those files only with actionscript?

View 4 RepliesInside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:
