Why does the following code convert the string to 399?

var str:String = "0617";
var strNum:Number = Number(str);
trace("strNum: "+ strNum);

Thanks,
Jeff

Integers beginning with 0 or specifying a radix of 8 are interpreted as octal numbers.

var str:String = "0617";
var strNum:Number = parseFloat(str);
trace("strNum: " + strNum);
