Hi Rákos, Typecasting to Number() did the trick (i.e: Number(initHeight)). I'm intrigued however.
Let me explain: The value comes untyped from a XML file (loaded through pixlib's ConfigLoader). Once it is in the player (untyped Object), I assign it to a variable of type number. Then I pass it to a method that then does the following: var initWidth:Number = initialWidth; var initHeight:Number = initialHeight; I thought that this would be enought to typecast my XML retrieved untyped value to number but it seems that, even though I'm typing the variables to be a Number (var:Number), Flash Players doesn't typecast the values to Number. It only does so if I explicity call the typecast function Number() passing the variable as an argument. Is this expected behaviour for ActionScript 2 ? Thanks again, Marcelo.
