TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

          at mdas_fla::MainTimeline/ans()

this is my code:

import flash.events.*;

//import flashx.textLayout.conversion.PlainTextExporter;

equal_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ans);

function ans(event:MouseEvent):void

{

var op:Array = new Array(String[10]);

var num:Array = new Array(Number[10]);

var hold:String;

          //result_txt.text = input_txt.text;

          hold = input_txt.text;

          var g:int = 0; var ctr:int = 0; var ctr2:int = 0; var str:String="";

          while(g < hold.length)

          {

                    if( hold.charAt(g) == '+' || hold.charAt(g) == '-' || hold.charAt(g) == '*' || hold.charAt(g) == '/')

                              {

                                        op[ctr]= "" + hold.charAt(g);

                                        //trace(op[ctr]);

                                        ctr++; ctr2++; str="";

                              }

                              else

                              {

                                        str += "" + hold.charAt(g);

                                        num[ctr2]= parseInt(str);

                                        //trace(num[ctr2]);

                              }

          g++;

          }

          var pl:int =0; var val:Number = 0;

          for(var a:int = 0; a<op.length(); a++)

          {

                    try

                              {

                                        if(op == '*')

                                                  {

                                                            num[pl+1] = num[pl] * num[pl+1];

                                                  }

                                        else if(op == '/')

                                                  {

                                                            num[pl+1] = num[pl] / num[pl+1];

                                                  }

                                        else if(op == '+')

                                                  {

                                                            num[pl+1] = num[pl] + num[pl+1];

                                                  }

                                        else

                                                  {

                                                            num[pl+1] = num[pl] - num[pl+1];

                                                  }

                              }

                    catch(e:Error )

                              {

                                        val = num[pl];

                                        break;

                              }

                              pl++;

          }

                              //trace(val);

                              result_txt.text = "" + val;

}

pls.. help me to solve this problem....

length() should be length.  ie, the array class has a length property, not method.  flash thinks you're trying to define a new function, length().

p.s. while debugging, click file>publish settings>swf and tick "permit debugging" so the problematic line number of your error(s) is in the error messages.  that makes it a lot quicker to debug your code.
