AS3 Version of isNaN

talk

In as2:
trace( isNaN(“Tree”) );
// returns true

trace( isNaN(56) );
// returns false

In AS3:
Compile Error:
Scene 1, Layer ‘Layer 1’, Frame 1, Line 1 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Number.

What is the the AS3 version of isNaN ?

AS3 is more fussy about data types. Either turn compiler strict mode off or attempt to convert to a Number first:

isNaN(Number(“tree”))

I think that should work, though it’s been years since I’ve used AS.

I cheated and looked at the docs :run_in_fear:

I dunno if looking at the docs is really cheating. That’s sort of why they exist.

I believe true codesman would just will the correct code directly onto the screen.
