ComboBox Value concatenating instead of adding

programming flash
1

I’m trying the add the data value of a selected combo box item (.35) to 1 using:

var theFringe:Number = _root.calc.fringe.getValue();
_root.calc.fFringe.text = theFringe+1;

Returns: .351

Is there a way to convert the data from the comboBox to an integer so that when I add .35 +1 I’ll get 1.35?

Thanks in advance!

Update:
I had to change my variable to:
var theFringe:Number = Number(_root.calc.fringe.getValue()); //added Number(…)
