If you omit the second parameter, ActionScript attempts to parse the number value using the most appropriate base.

 

package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){

        var nOne:Number = parseInt("0101");  // returns 65
        trace(nOne);          
        var nColorValue:Number = parseInt("0xFF0000");
        trace(nColorValue);
    }
  }
