To any who answer this, sorry if this is lame. I am new to AS and i was just going through the string tutorials but i couldnt get them to work. This is my code

dollarParser = function () {  
var input:Number = 1234567.5644;  
trace(input);

}  
dollarParser();

it keeps giving my output as undefined.  
am i an idiot or what?
