[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]I wrote this code:

[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=arial]var max:Number = 60;[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]var min:Number = 10;[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]  
[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]var randomNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random() \* (max - min) + min);[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]  
[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]  
[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]var count:Number = 0;[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,count);[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, startTime);[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]myTimer.start();[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]function startTime(event:TimerEvent):void[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]{[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial] time\_txt.text= String((count)+myTimer.currentCount);[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]  
[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]if(time\_txt.text==randomNum){[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial] [/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial] addChild(frog2);[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial] }[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial]}‫[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2][FONT=arial] and I have this error:‫ ‫‫ comparison between a value with static type string and a possibly unrelated type number.

How do I fix that?

Thanks
