ActionScript 2.0 lets you cast one data type to another. Casting an object to a different type means you convert the value that the object or variable holds to a different type.
The results of a type cast vary depending on the data types involved. To cast an object to a different type, you wrap the object name in parentheses (()) and precede it with the name of the new type. For example, the following code takes a Boolean value and casts it to an integer.
var myBoolean:Boolean = true; var myNumber:Number = Number(myBoolean);
