Hi.

In AS3 or HTML5 Canvas?

In AS3

If it is ActionScript, you can type cast the string to be a number. This for example:

trace("123"+4);

will give you "1234". But this:

trace(Number("123")+4);

will give you 127.

For HTML5 Canvas you can use JavaScript functions to get the same results. So,:

alert("123"+4);

will show "1234", but:

alert(parseInt("123")+4);

will show 127.

How do I do the parseInt function with this textfile in Animate CC?

Or Actionscript3?

Hi.

Flash Player and AIR:

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("sample.txt"));

function completeHandler(e:Event):void
{
    var loader:URLLoader = e.target as URLLoader;
	var integer:int = int(loader.data);
	
	trace(integer);
}

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

AIR only:

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;

// the text file is in the documents directory
var file:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("sample.txt");

function completeHandler(event:Event):void 
{ 
    var bytes:ByteArray = file.data;
    var str:String = bytes.readUTFBytes(bytes.length);
	var strToInteger:int = int(str);
	
    trace(strToInteger);
}

file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); 
file.load(); 

I hope it helps.

I tried it, it didn't work, but luckily I figured out how to do it. It was the parseInt function.

I had to make a Number var and then parseInt and it worked.

Thank you.
