  same problem
  I'm getting a number from an XML, looks like 123,456,78
  i then myString.split(",").join("");
  gives me "12345678"
  now I want to use it in some math,
  i tried Number(myString);
  that just gives me the error above

  @ littleman80
  var num:Number = 23;
  var StringConverted:String = "00"+String(num);
  trace(StringConverted);
  
  @justin
  to convert a string to number use this
  var TheString:String = "12345678";
  var TheNumber:Number = parseInt(TheString);
  trace(TheNumber * 2) // by using * u can test that its really a number
