Use numVar = parseInt( string, base ) to convert a string to a number of 
a certain base.

Use numVar.toString( base ) to output a number in a certain base.

AW: [flexcoders] Re: Number("011") = 9 ????

2005-10-05 Thread Christoph Diefenthal 
Well sorry, I haven't been specific enough.

Here it comes:
I have got Strings of the form "009", "010", "011",..., "999" which I expect
to be a decimal number, and so I was confused, that the output of
Number("011") is 9. 

I didn't know that a 0 in front of literal is a specifier for octal
literals.

So parseInt("011",10) does exactly what I want to do. It interprets "011" as
the decimal 11.

My last question was only, whether there is a way to use the Number class to
produce this output, because I thought that it is not the most
object-oriented way to use the global function parseInt(...)...

Thanks for the replies 
Christoph

AW: [flexcoders] Re: Number("011") = 9 ????

2005-10-04 Thread Christoph Diefenthal 
Ok thank you all, 

I workaround (or isn't it a workaround??) this problem by using
parseInt("011", 10) to get the decimal-system value.

How can I use the Number-class to convert the values?
Is there a 
Number.parseInt() function?

There is no such function mentioned in the "Flex ActionScript Language
Reference... can you provide me with a better API?


Cheers
Christoph
