public class Number
extends Object
The Number class is a simple wrapper object for the Number data type. You can manipulate
primitive numeric values by using the methods and properties associated with the Number
class. This class is identical to the JavaScript Number class.
The properties of the Number class are static, which means you do not need an object to use
them, so you do not need to use the constructor.
The following example calls the
string :
1234
var myNumber:Number = new Number(1234);
myNumber.toString();
The following example assigns the value of the
without the use of the constructor:
var smallest:Number = Number.MIN_VALUE;
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5 - (became a native object in Flash Player 6,
which improved performance significantly).
