Hey

I’m trying to make a little controller that will increase and decrease the digits within a dynamic text box. The subtract button works fine. It’s just the addition button which is causing me problems.

Instead of increasing the digit by one… its adding a one to the end of the dynamic text field.

Here’s a mock up of what I’m trying to do:

[AS]number\_text.onChanged = function() {  
this.restrict = “0-9”;  
};  
number\_text.onChanged();  
//  
right\_btn.onPress = function() {  
if ((number\_text.text\<=100) && (number\_text.length\<=3) && (number\_text.text !== “”)) {  
number\_text.text = number\_text.text+1;  
}  
};  
//  
left\_btn.onPress = function() {  
if ((number\_text.text\>=1) && (number\_text.text !== “”)) {  
number\_text.text = number\_text.text-1;  
}  
};  
[/AS]
