im trying to create a mobile phone in flash, so the user clicks the buttons and the numbers come up on screen. Im having trouble making it display the numbers i want,any advic would be great, for referance ive used the code:  
on (release) {  
\_root.screen = \_root.screen\*10 +1  
}  
on the button, and replaced the 1 where needed. It works so far, except for the 0, \* and # buttons

use  
\_root.screen += “1”

this adds the 1 to the end of the display as a string not as a number.

if you do the same with numbers flash trys to add whatever you want with math to your display  
like  
360+0=360  
the same wih strings:  
360+“0”=3600
