If you do parseInt(011, 10), I'm pretty sure what happens is this: 1. The octal literal 011 is compiled as the decimal Number 9. 2. It is converted at runtime to the string "9", because parseInt expects to parse a string. 3. parseInt parses "9" to produce 9.
Obviously, this is a waste of time. 011 already *is* 9 at compile time. It is just a different way of writing it, just like 0x09 is a different way of writing it. For example, try this: trace(011 - 1); The output is 8. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Abdul Qabiz Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 10:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Number("011") = 9 ???? Hi, What do you want to do? Convert 011 to decimal 11 Or convert octal(11) to decimal(9) parseInt(..) is a global function and first argument is an expression, so you can pass number also: parseInt(011, 10) -> 9 (decimal) You can look at Flash Player ActionScript on: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=Part_ASLR.html -abdul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christoph Diefenthal Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 7:34 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: AW: [flexcoders] Re: Number("011") = 9 ???? Ok thank you all, I workaround (or isn't it a workaround??) this problem by using parseInt("011", 10) to get the decimal-system value. How can I use the Number-class to convert the values? Is there a Number.parseInt() function? There is no such function mentioned in the "Flex ActionScript Language Reference... can you provide me with a better API?
