Hi, Try sticking inside your init function...
private function init():void
{
var str:String = "Area = ";
var area:Number = Math.PI * Math.pow(3, 2);
str = str + area.toString();
Alert.show(str);
}
And you probably need a toString() method after the area because it's a
Number and needs converting if you want to concat it to a String.
