Can anyone tell me how to convert a String "012" into an Integer 12 using the parseInt or other method? Apparently integers begining with 0 are interpreted as octal numbers...whatever they are.[code]

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?

The AS3 documentation states that if you pass in a string to parseInt that is not a number it will return NaN. However, when I try to compare to NaN the compiler gives me the following error: Warning: 1098: Illogical comparison with NaN. This statement always evaluates to false. The statement is actually true. Comparing to NaN will always return false. How can I compare to NaN to detect if what was parsed was NaN?
if( parseInt("test") == NaN )
{// do something (never gets here)
}
I'm writing an age verification actionscript for a flash project. Right now I have it where if the user is born before a certain year it will allow them to access the swf if not it will deny them. the problem is if they leave the field blank it will allow them access (i'm assuming because a blank field qualifies it as acceptable to the parseInt) so i'm curious as to how to block it so if someone doesn't enter a year it will disallow them from access the swf. here's my code for it
agetext._visible = false;
verify_btn.onRelease = function ()
{

if i pass parseInt() a string representing an integer larger than 2^31, how do i detect that ?
it would be swell if parseInt() returned NaN, but it doesn't.
i could test the number which parseInt returns against max int & min int.

I'm trying to convert an variable that contains XML data to a String. Anyone have a clue on how to achieve this?
My main problem is that the XML data is formatted nicely, but I need to store it in the database without the linebreaks and tab stops and whitespaces.
I think converting it into string would work with .toString();, but that doesn't get rid of the XML formatting...

I want to simply some repetitive code like this:

So I am trying to take an XML document, load it in, then organize the elements into an array of Objects with the elements nodes as the properties of each object.All of that I am able to do so far.What is the real problem here for me is when I try to take one of the properties and try to assign it to a dynamic Textbox's .text property.I can trace the object property, but it will not go into a textbox.[code]Also, I noticed that when the code hits the first output error, it never executes the rest of the code in the changeQuestion function; or else I would have gotten more than one output error.

View 5 RepliesI have an array of string values that represent accessors to another array. I need to be able to use those to access the secondary array, so I need to find a simple way to convert the string to the actual array accessor.[code]...
However, it seems like there should be some way to cast the string into AS, that Flash can use to access the proper array, without having to do the complex string.slice statement.
Something like: var str:String = ActionScript(arr3[i]); would be much easier to type, as many times as I'm going to need it, than the .slice statements.

Is there a way to write a UTF-16 string into a ByteArray in Flash/AS3? Basically I have a string (var test:String="allan"; for example) and I would like to write that into a ByteArray with UTF-16(LE) encoding. In this case it would be "61 00 6C 00 6C 00 61 00 6E 00".
I've tried using utf16le.writeMultiByte( clipText, "utf-16" ); but it just comes out with what appears to be UTF8 (or just straight ASCII given the test string).
I need to convert a string such as "x*y+2" (from an input text field) into an expression x*y+2, so that it can be evaluated normally, eg f=x*y+2. The variables x and y are already defined and can have various values; I need to evaluate the strings as expressions.
I have tried f=Number("x*y+2") but it seems to work only when the string is actually a number such as "1.2e-4".
