[RESOLVED] my variable isnt registering as a variable

[samac1068]

You are using quotation which is assigning the variable with the string instead of the value. It should look something like this

var objectHeight:Number = 1;
var anotherVar:Number;

anotherVar = objectHeight + 1;
trace (anotherVar) // 2; 

If you place quotes around objectHeight, it will treat it as string instead of a number. That is one reason I declare the variable and define its type, this way I will get a mismatch error if I try to shove a string in a variable defined for a number.
