I had either totally forgotten about or never known about the Number, uint, int etc... .toString() radix argument. Brock mentioned it to me in conversation and I've been having fun with it ever since. It's especially nice for tracing out hex numbers:

Actionscript:
  1. var red:Number = 0xFF0000;
  2. trace("decimal:");
  3. trace(red);
  4. trace("hex:");
  5. trace(red.toString(16));
