how to Alert integer values in Flex?

Question

How can I alert an integer value in flex. I have a variable called total which is an integer.

If I try to alert it using

var total:int=myTest.length;
Alert.show(total);

it throws an errors saying that

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type int to an unrelated type String.

the show method accepts only string values. How can I alert this int value?

Actually, what I want is to know the value stored in the total variable.

Answer 1

Alert.show(total.toString());
