getting literal value for enum

[Gillissie]

In every other language that I have used with enums, the enum values are simply constants for numeric values that can be used for anything where a number can be used. However, Unity doesn't like it when using an enum value in math. Consider this:

`

enum Dir { N, E, S, W };

function lookInDirection(dir:Dir)
{
  var angle:int = dir * 90;  // This fails.
  transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(angle,0,0);
}

`

Is it possible to get the literal value of an enum value (in Javascript)? I saw somewhere that in C# you could simply cast it by using (int)dir, but that doesn't seem to work in Javascript. The following code gives a different error in Javascript:

`

var angle:int = (dir as int) * 90;

`

Use `parseInt(dir)`. You can also assign an enum to an integer: `var num : int = dir`.
