FLASH: load variable problem

[Rachel Bachman]

Using Flash 5


I load a variable from a text file,

example:

entryTotal=5


I want to use it for its numeric value

but can't seem to do that. 


example:

sum = entryTotal;


tells me that sum = undefined


Is there a way I need to write it in my 

txt file to indicate that it is a numeric

value instead of a string?


I've tried a bit to convert the string value

(at least what appears to be a string) with

not much luck. I may just be doing that wrong.


Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
