I am new to actionscript and I’m having a problem with this code. The problem is the last line. I want the price to be displayed as the sum of the two values…however, right now it displays them next to one another. For example 30 + 10 = $40 (that’s what I want). It displays 30 + 10 = $3010.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Here’s the code:

setPrice();  
function setPrice() {  
// Get the price (based on size list)  
var newPrice = sizeList.getValue();  
var newPrice2 = colorList.getValue();

BN.setAmount(newPrice + newPrice2);

thePrice = “$” + sizeList.getValue() + colorList.getValue();

}

Thanks!
