I'm surprisingly stuck by a cast I try to do from a string to a real.

I have a function that returns something like "339.700012"

I want this result to be casted as a real (set myResult to myResult as real) but I always get the same error :

"can't make "339.700012" into type real"

Is there something I missed regarding casting in AS ?

This works for me:

set myresult to foo()
set myresult to myresult as real

on foo()
	return "339.700012"
end foo
