Question

How to convert hex(in string) to decimal(int) in Actionscript3?

Answer 1

Number, int and uint class having toString() method which accept radix as arguments.

radix Specifies the numeric base (from 2 to 36) to use for the number-to-string conversion. If you do not specify the radix parameter, the default value is 10.

you can convert to any base like octal, hex, binary via Number and uint class.

Better way

var decimal:int = parseInt("FFFFFF",16); // output : 16777215

Another way

var hex:String = "0xFFFFFF";

var hexint:int = int(hex); // output : 16777215

it is equivalent to

var hexint:int = int(hex).toString(10); //Decimal conversion

Back to original value :

var decimalStr:String = hexint.toString(16).toUpperCase(); // output : FFFFFF
