Hey People, I have a _simple_ project, but one part is giving me problems. The entire code is as follows. Everything works except for the **[COLOR=Red]Bold & Red part[/COLOR]**. Any thoughts? The FLA is here: [http://www.sergprotector.com/temp/focalConsole.fla](http://www.sergprotector.com/temp/focalConsole.fla).

> function setVariables(){  
> xVar=35;  
> yVar=18;  
> zVar=0;  
> [COLOR=Red]**xVar.maxChars = 4;  
> xVar.restrict = “0123456789.”;**[/COLOR]  
> }  
> setVariables();  
> convertButton.onRelease = function(){  
> zVar = 35/xVar \* yVar;  
> }
