AS3: How to Convert Number to String

Frequently, it is nice to convert numbers to strings in actionscript 3. For example, this will correct the error — 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.


In my neverending journey to teach myself actionscript, I have once again started pounding through some code.

In short to convert a number to a string, use the following construct:

text = String(number);

If you try to avoid this step, it’ll throw the following error…

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.

Here is some example code that will throw the error:


var time:Date= new Date();
var txt:String;
txt = time.milliseconds;

This code works correctly:


var time:Date= new Date();
var txt:String;
txt = String(time.milliseconds);
