Hello,

```
 Again, pardon me if this post has already been "posted"-still getting the hang of this forum. Anyway I want to make a site which where a user inputs a number and Flash will tell if it's odd or even. The actual determination is the easy part, but I have had no success in forcing the text field to treat a number like a number-and then access it via the function. I know that parseInt() changes strings to numbers but I can't get the syntax right. Help!

```

Thanks,  
David
