[F8] parseInt(TextInput.text) is stripping my decimal

[jahu]

I’m using flash 8 and programming with as1.

I have a question about the parseInt() function.

I'm pulling a number from a TextInput component and am noticing that the parseInt() function is deleting the numbers decimal.

Example: if I have 13.5 in a textInput and pull it out via:
parseInt(TextInput.text)
It will give me 13 even.

Does anybody know how to retain my decimal in this case?

Thanks!

ParseInt only parses integers, or whole numbers, so it truncates the decimal... use parseFloat instead.
