Hi,

Please check and let me know whether I am doing something wrong

```auto

var answers:Array=new Array("0070","0006","0454","5356","7276","0767","4373","0646","1545","1252");
var count:int=2;
var sx:int=int(answers[count].substr(0,0));
var sy:int=int(answers[count].substr(1,1));
var ex:int=int(answers[count].substr(2,2));
trace("ex "+ex);
var ey:int=int(answers[count].substr(3,3));
trace( sx+" "+ sy+" "+ex+" "+ey);

```

Below is the output I am getting, I should be getting value of ex as 5 whereas I am getting it as 54. Am I doing something wrong?

```auto

ex 54
0 4 54 4

```
