Tracing a letter with its ascii code

[stupid guy]

I know letters have a number code to them, or ascii code, how can I use this to trace a letter with a number, for example lets say the ascii code for the letter 'a' is 97, in AS3 is there a way todo something like:

trace(asciiToString(97));

to trace out 'a', thanks in advance.

I know this is not at all what your asking for but I use a massive switch statement to achieve a similar effect.

You can use the static fromCharCode() method of the String class:
trace (String.fromCharCode(97));

an easy way to do is

Choose Player as : Adobe Air 1.1
You can do it inside Publish Setting (Flash Tab) under File menu.

Then the AS 3.0 code is


stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyb oardListener);

function keyboardListener(event:KeyboardEvent)
{
trace(event.keyCode);
}

Thank you!


trace (String.fromCharCode(97));

is exactly what I was looking for.
