Subtracting 2 characters(Flash MX)

Question

Hi guys,
I am trying to subtract 2 characters in action script, My
code line looks like this : temp=Number(str.charAt(j)-'A');
 trace(temp); 
But everytime i run the command i get NaN as the O/P, such a
command works fine in C, what to do to get this working in
actionscript?

Hi,What does such a thing yield in C?Does it substract ASCII codes?Then I would look into the charCodeAt() and fromCharCode()methods.trace("C" - "A");also gives NaN, so converting it to a Number doesn't do muchbetter :)HTH,Mannothunder_storm wrote:> Hi guys,> I am trying to subtract 2 characters in action script,My code line looks like > this : temp=Number(str.charAt(j)-'A');> trace(temp); > But everytime i run the command i get NaN as the O/P,such a command works > fine in C, what to do to get this working inactionscript? > -- ----------Manno Bulthttp://www.aloft.nlmanno@xs4all.nl
