[Flashcoders] Casting a string to a number ...

A couple of times I have tried to cast a string to a number like so (this is just an example): var string:String = "9";trace(string);var number:Number = Number(string);trace(number);trace(typeof(number)); It seems to work, but is this the correct way to cast. Thanks, Stephen.___
