FLASH: Flash concatenates my numbers!

[Jason_Schubring]

Hi,


I have created calculators a million times in Flash, but have never run across

this and hope you can help me.


What I am doing:  A simple calculation that takes 2 numerical variables (input

by user) and adds them together to create a third variable.  Easy, right?


What is happening:  The 2 variables input by the user are being concatenated.

ie: 2+4=24


Apparently, Flash is thinking the variables are text strings for some reason.

The really odd part is that an older version of this calculator works fine and I

am using the exact same script and exact same input form.  What settings could I

have possibly messed up?  This is not hard so it is kind of embarrassing, but

this is really odd so I thought I would see if anyone has any idea what

happened.


Any and all suggestions are appreciated.


Thanks!


J
