Maybe a dumb question..

but...

does neone know how to change a variable into a number?

such as

Code:

---

String = "23";
Number = function ??(String);
Number = 23;

---

Thank you.

Either use new Number() or parseInt():

code:

---

str = "23";

num = new Number(str); // convert to any number, including floating points

---

or

code:

---

str = "23";

num = parseInt(str); // only works if the number is an integer (there is a parseFloat() as well)

---

^Thanks, that got my code working now :)

Can't you just use

code:

---

str = "21212";

number = int(str);

---

or is it old syntax?

In flash you can simply just write:

String = "23"
Number = String
