Can someone explain this???

[rapidcarbon]

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
  value = substring(this.myInput, 1, 4);
  trace ("value: "+ value);
}

and

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
  value = substring(this.myInput, 0, 4);
  trace ("value: "+ value);
}

are the same? I got the same result for both codes.

please note the different: 1 and 0

Is this just alternative syntax?
I thought it was
value = this.myInput.substring(0,4);
What are you getting?

The only thing different in this 2 codes in index number, one is 1 and one is 0, but both produce the same result.

If my string is 123456, they both return: 1234and that's what got me confused.
