how about if I have a number, i.e.: 23 and I want to converted it to the string "0023" (with 4 digits i.e.)?...

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

How to do whith that?:

var D:String;
D = String(b * b - 4 * a * c);

thats cool man, but how would you know wich class to add so you can use the "string()" converter

or you could use (time.milliseconds).toString()

@ 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
