Hi, If you have number with prefix as '0', it is considered as an Octal number not a decimal number...
So in actionscript x = 011 means octal(11) Octal(11) = 1*8^1 + 1*8^0 = 9 -abdul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christoph Diefenthal Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 2:36 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [flexcoders] Number("011") = 9 ????
