Ok basically I want the player to type a number into an inoput text field and that number will become a variable. I then want to use that number to add onto another variable number. Problem is that it doesn’t give a number from the input text but code to display the number. e.g.  
[AS]\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“CENTER”\>\<FONT FACE="\_sans" SIZE=“18” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>11\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>[/AS]  
Which writes the number 11. I just want it to equal 11, not the above.

Any way to do this?
