title: Action Script string to number
body: <p>I have a problem with following statement</p>
  
  <pre><code>trace(Number("1/2")) //output NaN
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but</p>
  
  <pre><code>trace(Number("1.2")) //output 1.2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, I am bit confused as why the first statement doesn't gives correct result?</p>
