    number to string conversion

    var z:Number = 011;
    trace(z);

    why does this return 9 in actionscript 2.0?

    is there a way to change the String "011" to the number 11?

    In many C-like languages, including actionscript, when an integer is specified with a leading zero, it is assumed to be in the octal (base 8) number system. 11 in octal is the same as 9 in decimal.

    Remove the leading zero.
