Txt String To Number
Apr 3, 2009
I'm importing a txt file through my AS and would like to use the string as a value to manipulate my timeline.. for instance ,the 'txt' contains a '0' and I would like to set an 'IF' statement that evaluates that value. this is the code I'm using (it places the value in a dynamic text box for now):[code]I understand that it must be converted from a string to a number, but have been having difficulty with this following other threads.I'm also curious if there is a simple way to continue checking the txt file for changes in value..

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:

I have a problem sending a String as a number..
I have a text field called score0 :-
var score = score0.text;
The string (score0.text) will have an "s" at the end as the time is counted in seconds and tenths, so I will be receiving something along the lines of "8.1s" as a value.. I would like to take score0.text, remove the "s" then *1000 the amount as a number before use..

Im looking to be able to find a number (any number) within a text string, what i ultimately want to do is crop the number out of the string to just be left with a number value, the only problem is the string could be any length and the number doesnt necessarily start at any point from the last characterI have items on the stage named 'image0', 'textfield2', 'button500' etc, as you can see the prefix before the number isnt a fixed length so I couldnt use substr and set an index, and since the number could be any number i couldnt set the index as a certain value before the end of the string. (ie it might return '500' or 'ld2' or 'ge0' in the examples given before)

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.

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?

i want to convert a string to a number...
for example:
private var myTextBox:TextField = new TextField();
private var myText:String = "Type here";
.....
.....
var position = int(myTextBox.text);
If the input value is "1" then it's ok. But if the input value is "-1" then I don't get the negative number. It just outputs "1"

I 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?
