You're trying to assign a number into a string really...
Just doing this should be enough. currentDate = "11"; It does raise the issue... if you are always wanting to treat the date as a number, why create it as a string in the first place? Gk.

Depending on the date, different team matchups will be displayed. However, before the 11th we just want to display the matchup for the 11th. I have the following code, but I'm getting a compile-time error: "Target of assignment must be a reference value." Here's the code. var now:Date = new Date(); var currentDate:String = now.getDate().toString() //if the current date is before the 11th, set it to the 11th if((Number(currentDate)) < 11) { Number(currentDate) = 11; //error is here } else ... I realize I'm assigning a value to a value, and that's the problem. I'm just not sure how to fix it. Thanks.
