Convert String to Number

[X-Slider]

I want to convert a textbox value to numric value and i use a code like this :

1.   var n:Number = Number(myTextbox.text);

when i trace the variable (n) it gives me 0. although when i trace myTextbox.text , it gives me the right value.

why ?

Hi,

Have you tried to use parseFloat() instead of a direct cast?
