Making a imported variable ( from php ) into a number

1

hey :wink:

Quick question…
im importing a few variables with this


 myVars = new LoadVars();
        myVars.load("getinfo.php?user1="+userN+"&pass45="+passN+"&random="+refresh1,"0");
        myVars.onLoad = function() {
        _root.cash=myVars.balance;
....

thats all working good …
but now how do i make a variable say…
_root.cash
into a a number which can be used in equations or used for logical compariosons such as < > ==
thank you
