Am I right in thinking that comparing a string to null will work but a number will fail? var str:String = "A lovely string"; var num:Number = 101; if (str == null) { // This'll be ok     Alert.show("I am not a string!"); } if (num == null) { // This'll coke!     Alert.show("I am not a number, I'm a free man!"); } Seems odd one will work and one won't. Is it because a null can be implicitly converted to the string "null" and a number can't? Thanks for any insight. Adrian

Read here: http://flextips.corank.com/tech/story/cannot-use-var-nnumber-null-to-test-if that I should be using isNaN() instead. Adrian > Am I right in thinking that comparing a string to null will work but a > number will fail?
