Simply use isNAN() method :

Subject: [Flashcoders] Detecting NaN
I'm trying to convert an arbitrary object into a Number, and then detect if
the conversion actually succeeded. In theory I would convert it and then
check if the converted value is NaN, but this doesn't seem to work.
Here's my test. In a blank FLA I put the following code:
----------
var foo = "foobar";
var fooN:Number = Number(foo);
trace(typeof(fooN));
if(fooN == NaN) {
trace("fooN is NaN");
} else {
trace("fooN is a number: " + fooN);
}
----------
This should output:
number
fooN is NaN
but instead I get:
number
fooN is a number: NaN
For some reason the check to see if it's NaN isn't working, and I have no
idea why.
It looks like I can use isNaN(fooN) for the check instead, but I'm wondering
why == doesn't work.
