The leading zero signifies that the number is an octal; like 0x is hex. Use
parseInt.
parseInt ("0023", 10);

Subject: [Flashcoders] number casting weirdness
Hi all,
I am having some really strange things with the Number casll
here are some tests I've been running and some unexpecting things happened.
var str:String = "0023";
trace(str); // output 0023 - this correct and expected
var numb:Number = Number(str)
trace(numb); // output 19 - this incorrect and unexpected - was expecting
either 0023 or 23
var numb2:Number = Number("23")
trace(numb2); // output 23 - this correct and expected
var numb3:Number = Number("00"+"23")
trace(numb3); // output 19 - this incorrect and unexpected - was expecting
either 0023 or 23
var numb4:Number = Number("11"+"23")
trace(numb4); // output 1123 - this correct and expected
is there a bug with the class number and the use of 0 ? how am I supposed to
get 0023 or 23 out of "0023" (string) without cleaning the string and
looking for the 0's.
thanks
Seb
