flex - ActionScript 3.0 integer overflow? -

i have old air file works fine. tried recompile resulting airfile buggy.

after digging in code, found @ place strings parsed ints, , resulting int not correspond string. made simple actionscript file , executed code:

var test:int = parseint("3710835714"); 

and variable have value

-584131582 

so looks overflow. i'm surprised air file have (which didn't compile myself) runs fine. wonder - internal representation of int somehow depend on version of flex or air sdk libraries 1 using compiling?

//edit: seems boils down test:

        var obj:object = new object();         obj.val="3710835714";         var test1:boolean = (obj.val==-584131582);         var test2:boolean = (int(obj.val)==-584131582); 

this evaluates me to

test1=false; test2=true; 

however - old air file seems evaluate both cases true. how can be?

it happening due give number exceeds actionsscript int limit

the int data type stored internally 32-bit integer , comprises set of integers -2,147,483,648 (-231) 2,147,483,647 (231 - 1),

and number 3,710,835,714 exceeds 1563352067

but parse result shows compiler considering uint, max limit 4,294,967,295 i.e

-584131581 = 3,710,835,714 - 4,294,967,295

you should use uint or number big whole-numbers/integers
