View 2 RepliesI've got a .txt file hosted on a freewebs, which my actionscript gets some variables for (for easy updating of statistics).
I want to do be able to do math in actionscript with these numbers I'm calling up from the .txt file, but the problem is that when I call up the variables, they are recognized as a string, instead of integers.
How would I convert the string to an integer in actionscript, or write the number in the .txt so that it's recognized as an integer.
I was wondering if there was a way to convert a string containing math symbols such as +,-,*,/ and numbers. I am building a calculator.I have a string variable that I keep appending the value of the button.In the end the string looks something like this 8+3+3-4*9.I was wondering if there was a way to solve the equation just using the information in the string. I tried setting a Number to the string and I would get NaN. The hard part about this is trying to count for the math oop i.e Multiplying before adding.

Inside 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:

View 2 RepliesI'm doing a simple hex converter with a input window(hex) and output window(dec)
Currently i'm using a simple script on a button to covert the hex to dec
on (release) {
outputBox = parseInt(inputBox, 16);

This is ok if you want to convert one hex number at a time, what i want to do is input lots of hex values (in the input window) and convert them to dec (to the output window) in one go.
I am using the following code to create an array of grid coordinates. After pulling my hair out for quite some time, I did a trace (typeof) and found out that the coordinates are going into the array as objects. Obviously, I need numbers. Does anyone know how to convert the array values to numbers instead of objects? (as you can see, I wrapped my push command with the Number() operator, but it still turns out to be objects!)

View 9 RepliesI'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...
