Runtime Error:The value _ cannot be converted to _ without losing precision.

Adobe’s Take:

This error appears if you attempt to assign a decimal number to a property that has data type int.

This error also appears for out-of-range assignments, such as the following:


var m0:int = 2147483648; //

int.MAX_VALUE == 2147483647

You can also see this error when using the bitwise left shift operator (<<). For example, consider the following code:


var m0:uint = 0xFF;

var m1:uint = m0<<24;

The result of left shift operator (<<) is interpreted as a 32-bit two's complement number with sign. In the example, the result is a negative value, which causes the error when assigned to the uint typed property. A workaround is the following:


var m0:uint = 0xFF;

var m1:uint = uint(m0<<24);
