Any help on this would be appriciated.

How do i set a variable from NaN to 0? Currently im trying to use an if
statment to check and see if the value is NaN...But it doesnt seem to do
anything. On the main timeline where i instanciate my variables i set
PresCloseRate = Number(0).

if (_parent.PresCloseRate == NaN) {
_parent.PresCloseRate = Number(0);
}

and ive also tried...

if (_parent.PresCloseRate == "NaN") {
_parent.PresCloseRate = Number(0);
}

Thanks in advance,

TJ
