    I am a relative newcomer to Actionscript 2.0 and Flash I have created a Input test box where a student can input the answer to a mathematical equation i.e. 1+1= Input Text Box variable. The problem is when I check the correct answer to the Input Number Flash treats in Input as text not a numerical value. How do I get the input to be treated as numerical?

    Both of the solutions *should* work for As2. The bottom method (casting) also works for As3.

    myNum=parseInt(myString);

    myNum=Number(myString);

    "should" was the key word.

    Sorry, that didn't work. I should add this is inside a movieclip if that makes any difference.

    It can.

    Did you try the code on the main timeline or the timeline for the movieclip?
