Hello … I have been placing ‘numbers’ into an array via an input text field. Then on completion, I want them to be added up and the results displayed.
However, what seems to be happening, is that the numbers going into the array are being read as Strings … no good.
var num_ary:Array = new Array(5,9);
num_ary.push(input_txt.text);
var i:Number = 0;
var total:Number = 0;
while(i<num_ary.length)
{
total += num_ary*;
i++;
}
trace(total);
If the number in the text field is set to 12 then on running the code, it adds the existing numbers into the array - correct - but then adds the “string” value to the total, resulting in the answer to be 1412.
How can I translate this string value to a number!?
///////////UPDATE///////////
I tried
Number(num_ary*);
That does work … ! so i am right after all And didnt need anyones help in the end :::::::: HOPE someone finds this useful?
