Changing String To Number
Hi,
I need to change string to number but the problem is that string is a hex rgb value (0xAAFF13).
If you declare a var with 0xAAFF13 its value is something like 16777215.
I use it for RGB change. Available colors are stored in Array. I used "" for storing values in array because Actionscript gets confused if I try to push 0xAAFF13 without "".
Using Number returns NaN.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

[MX] Changing A Variable Contents From A Number To A String
I have a variable called total.
The value of total is a random dollar and cents amount.
When I display the contents of the variable on the screen, (in a dynamic string) there is no comma separator at the 1,000 mark. How do I make the number show the comma separator? (I already have the string set to "$ "+total+"" which results in (for example) $ 52435.25
Please Help!
Thanks in advance,

Help Can't Convert String To Number With Number()
I'm pulling variables from an XML file and need to convert the strings from the XML to numbers. So, I have the following actionscript:
Code:
thisPC_Price = aPrice[0].stringValue();
trace(thisPC_Price);
trace(Number(thisPC_Price));
The first trace returns 100, which is the contents of the string (it's also treated like a string by the AS and if I try and do anything to it it will return NaN, as it should). The 2nd trace action returns NaN ..... and I have no idea why.
Anyone have any ideas?

Changing A String Name In A Loop / Concatonating String Name?
Hey all,
Does anybody know of a way to change a string name as a loop proceeds?
This is the main piece of code that I wish to loop with i incrementing, so that whilst i=0 then:
_root.barARed._visible=barRed[i];
_root.barARed._width=barLength[i];
_root.barAYellow._visible=barYellow[i];
_root.barAYellow._width=barLength[i];
_root.barAGreen._visible=barGreen[i];
_root.barAGreen._width=barLength[i];
infoA.text=info[i];
and i=2 then:
_root.barBRed._visible=barRed[i];
_root.barBRed._width=barLength[i];
_root.barBYellow._visible=barYellow[i];
_root.barBYellow._width=barLength[i];
_root.barBGreen._visible=barGreen[i];
_root.barBGreen._width=barLength[i];
infoB.text=info[i];
and so on...I would use _root.barRedInstanceName[i]._visible=barRed[i]; but I can't give the movie clip (the bar) an instance name such as redBar[1], redBar[2] etc. (system reserved I'm told)
I guess what I am trying to ask in a roundabout way: is how do you concatonate the name, rather than the contents of a string?
Hope you'll forgive me if this is something really simple that I am overlooking, but I only have a very short experience of flash.
Thanks
Al

[F8] Number + Number = String?
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with this.
This code gives me the result 100100.
PHP Code:
var one:Number = 100;
var two:Number = 100;
var result:Number = one + two;
result then prints as 100100.
I don't understand why.

Number Or String
I am passing variables into flash through the param and embed tags (which use asp to get them from the URL query string)
When i pass in a variable named hole1=6, the 6 doesnt seem to be a number value. it acts like a string because when i perform functions on it (like + or -) this is the result:
6+5 = 65 instead of 6+5 = 11
any thoughts?

From String To Number
hi everyone:
from visual basic i send my swf a number formated like this, "100,000,00.56".
i use a dynamic text to show it, and i works fine.
the problem is that i need that number for another code (a graph), and it doesn't work because, i think, flash is taking it as a string, with the "," and ".".
so what i need is to format the string "100,000,00.56" into the corresponding number. and i need to do that in flash not visual basic.
help please.
thanks, take care.

String To A Number
Hi All
So it looks as though my threshold idea is impossible. I have another idea though. Only one thing is holding me back. I need to convert a hex string to a number variable. I looked at parseInt but this appears to be a method of gaining a decimal number ie 0x44D391 would become 68208152 (I think). I need the variable to retain its original 0x.... so I can use it in the threshold method.
Cheers
Jim

XML String To Number
Hi,
I read an XML file containing numbers. Then I want to do mathamatical calculations on these however I can't seem to convert them to numbers all I get is NaN. here is my code
ActionScript Code:
function loadOldValue(TheNum) {
trace(TheNum);
var Yposition= new Number(TheNum);
trace(Yposition );
}
This outputs fine for the first trace but NaN for the 2nd trace which prevents me from doing any calculations.

String To Number...
Code:
on (release) {
var LV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
LV.load(_root.spyderbaby);
LV.onLoad = function() {
U();
};
function U() {
LV.rating = Number;
slipknot = LV.rating;
song = _root.spyderbaby;
final = 1;
trace(star=slipknot+final);
trace(rating=star/2);
loadVariablesNum("shout.php", 0, "POST");
_parent.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
Here is the thing, slipknot is equal to 3.
When flash executes trace(star=slipknot+final);
it outputs 31
Instead of adding 3 +1 to make 4, it puts together 3 +1 to make 31...
Then it divides 31....
Is there a fix for this?
Any help is appriciated.
Thanks for your time

String To Number?...
This is really easy I think, but I just couldn't find out how to do it...
How do I get a string converted into a number?
So, if I had "2" and "5", for example, I'd want them to add together to be 7, not "25"...
I dunno if this information is necessary, but I have a long string of numbers separated by commas. I'm using split(",") to put them into an array. Then, I want to add, say, array[0] + array[5]...
Thanks...

String To Number
Hi, does anybody know how to convert contents of a string to numbers?
I've made 2 dynamic textbox with contents that vary, as long as it's number (i use the 'restrict' method on the input), depends on the input from the user.
the problem is i want to compare the contents of the 2 box.
generally it works fine, but when it compares 2 digit number with 3 digits number, all is lost. for example, i want to compare 72 with 108, the result is 72 is greater than 108.
i tried to debug the movie, watching the variables, and it turns out that flash read the content not as 72 and 108, but as "72" and "108" (which is a string), so i'd have to convert them to number first before i can compare them, right?
the question is how? i've browsed the help topics, and the clostest i cand find is number.toString, but not the other way around.
anybody can help me?
thanks in advance

XML : I Want A Number, Not A String
Ok,
I'm loading data from an xml file.
Anything loaded from it is a string.
Later, I want to be able to do some maths, say:
aBetterNumber = xmlLoadedVar + aNumber;
aBetterNumber just turns out to be the two variables concatinated together.
Any thoughts?

I Get A String Instead Of A Number...
I have a movie clip that makes a hittest to another movie clip, and when it does that, the meaning is that it has to sum up 3 to a global variable. But instead it gives me 33. That is, it makes a String. This is my code:
I initialise the variable in the following way:
_global.gold=3;
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_parent.mc2)){
if(_root.vitamin >=1 and energi ==1){
energi=0;
_root.gold += 3;//this give me 33 ..!
}
}
}//enterFrame
What is the problem - and what is the solution? Thank you very much.

My Variable Is A String When I Want A Number?
Hi I have mc's named Day0, Day1, Day2 etc. I use this to extract the number from teh name
Fetch = _name.substring(3, _name.length);
it seems I end up with flash regarding Fetch as a string because when I do this to check
ArrayPos = Fetch+2;
flash puts the 2 onto Fetch as a string rather than doing addition.
How do I change this so that Fetch is a number?

Loaded String To Number?
Problem:
As I load variables from an external file, I have one var which is assigned a value of a number, let's say, 4. When the var loads into the movie, I need to do numeric operations with it, but I cannot, since the var is considered a string (has escapes included, a "4
" or so in debugger). When I Int(var) it, the value becomes 0.
Is there any better way to make it numeric?

I Need To Convert A String To A Number
Hello all,
I have a value stored in a variable called "numba"
I get the value like this:
numba=this._name.substring(6,this._name.length);
the value is a string, when I trace(numba) I get something like this:
0
1
2
3
4
I want to add a value of 1 to the variable called numba.
The problem is that the value of the variable numba IS A STRING. so when I try to add 1 to it like this:
newNumba=numba+1;
the trace looks like this:
01
11
12
13
14
I want it to simple return 1,2,3,4,5
how can I convert my string(numba) into a real number?
I have tried turning the string into an object but it didnt work out.
Much thanks to any takers,

Converting A String To A Number?
I need to turn a string into a number that you can do math with!
My example:
thestring = "h5";
splicedsuit = thestring.charAt(0);
splicednumber = thestring.charAt(1);
(splicedsuit = "h"; splicednumber = "8")<not displayed
Then I need to do Math like
whatIneed = 9274 + splicednumber
If I check the variables durning the movie it says
whatIneed = 92748
but I need it to say 9282 and acually add them together not combine them.
Thanks In Advance!

Extracting Number From String
Ok I have created a bunch of buttons dynamically and I want to extract the number at the end of the instance name. I have done this before but all the names in the array were the same length with a number at the end.
This time all the instance names are different lengths but they all have at the end of them _mc0,_mc1,_mc2 etc.
I need to get that number so I can call a picture to load from another array called picMax.
Code:
btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.select = _root.picMax[Number((this._name).substring(bla))];
};
btn is a variable with the path to all the dynamic clips.
The problem with this is I don't know what bla would be in the substring().
I need a way to extract the number at the end of the instance.
Example of instance names
Code:
Adele_mc0
Adriana_mc1
Antonina_mc2
Agnes_mc3
Etc

How To Convert String To Number?
I have an external text file and it's content is simply "quantity=3".
Then I loadVariablesNum to load this external text file into flash.
As expected the variable called quantity will be a string of "3".
I want to change this string to a number.
So I put in this statement "var newquantity = Number(quantity)".
Unfortunately this doesn't convert the variable quatity from a string to a number?!!
I know that the above statement will work if the variable "quantity" is defined internally, instead of loaded externally.
My question is how should I load a number into flash ... instead of loading a string. Thanks

Converting A Number To A String AS 2
Hi:
I've been trying to convert a number into a string (It's easy in other langauges) but its got me baffled in AS 2.0. I'm still very much a n00b at Flash. MX 2004 is my first and only version.
In a class (theScore) I increment a number n_numberRight. Return that to the main part of the code theScore.numberRight
I've tried the code below:
code:
public function get numberRight () : String
{
var s_ScoreRight : String;
var n : Number = new Number (n_ScoreRight);
s_ScoreRight = n.toString ();
trace ("Number = " + n_ScoreRight + " String = " + s_ScoreRight);
//the trace shows correct values.
return s_ScoreRight; // return this should be string??
>> this works if the return type is Number but I still want a string//return n_ScoreRight;
}
The return value is correct in a trace, but if add
code:
var sOut:String;
sOut = theScore.numberRight();
trace(sOut); // undefined ??
I want to pass that string then to a textfield
textfield.text = sOut;
Help, please, and thank you.
