loading from a txt file

[lkress]

I'm loading some variables in from a text file and everything loads ok, but flash thinks my numbers are strings. How can I get flash to realized a variable is a number and not a string.

Don't pute quotes around it.

Fraggs is out on this one!
Loading variables from a text file will allways be considered by Flash as strings... You have to convert them back to integers once they're loaded!

myNumber = Number(myString);
