no, they mean quite different things.
In the first case you are creating a Number object, then you are
assigning the string '0' to it, so it becomes a string.
In the second one you are creating a Number object from a string, so you
end up with the value of the string in your Number object.
if in the first case you did :
var myVar = new Number();
myVar = 0;
then they would be about the same, but you may as well write
var myVar = 0;
if you need to create numbers from strings then just beware of using
leading 0's as a recent thread discussed this leads flash to interpret
the string as an octal number (base 8).

I was wondering if the following two lines of code are just different ways
of doing the same thing:
var myVar = new Number();
myVar ="0";
var myVar= Number("0");
