problem with needing a double value

[ryanp321]

hey,
i'm bascily inputting a number into a textboxes called dividedbycd and multipercent, it's messy with variable names as i've been rushing this all today.
but latestVar is basicly a large number value which needs to be divided by a number, which could be either integer or a decimal value (dividedbycdfn) then multiplied by a percentage, so just a decimal value really like 0.85 for example.

Throughout what i'm doing (as i'm very uneasy with as3) is turning integers into strings to output in textboxes. which is fine, but i can't figure how to do decimal values. Help with this would be great


I've supplied the code (Which works)
But only if I use integers. Thanks for anyhelp!

var taktTimeVar:Number = (((latestVar)/dividedByCdFn))*(multiPercentFn);
taktTime.text = String(taktTimeVar);

var taktTimeVar2:int = ((taktTimeVar)*60);
inSeconds.text = String(taktTimeVar2);

What do you get when you use Number instead of int?
