Do the conversion for the Number type (instead of explicitly using Number( )):

 

package{

                            <number>.9</number>
                          </example>;
        
        var bool:Boolean = Boolean( example.bool );
        
        var integer:int = int( example.integer );
        
        var number:Number = example.number;
        
        trace( bool );
        trace( integer );
        trace( number );

    }
