hey 😉

Quick question…  
im importing a few variables with this

```auto

 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
