[Laszlo-dev] something in LzFormatter.formatToString is causing the flex compiler to emit bad code

[Henry Minsky]

When I comment out this code block, I don't get the verifier error

        switch (directive) {
        case 'U': case 'O': case 'X':
        case 'u': case 'o': case 'x':
          if (value < 0) {
            value = (- value);
            // NOTE: [2006-11-17 ptw] Number('') -> NaN in swf, 0 in
            // ECMA, hence use parseInt
            var wid = Math.abs(parseInt(length));
            if (isNaN(wid)) {
              wid = Number(value).toString(radix).length;
            }
            var max = Math.pow(radix, wid);
            value = max - value;
          }
      }

mysterious...
