SendAndLoad numeric variables problem?

1

I am in need of some actionscripting help quickly! I am trying to get a numeric value from php using the sendAndLoad function. I can get it to ALMOST work, but the flash must not recognize it as a number.

Here is my code :


var scor:Number = 0;
lvOut = new LoadVars();
lvIn = new LoadVars();
lvIn.onLoad = function (success)
{
    scor = lvIn.myscore;
    trace(scor);
    //scor = ;
    bet = 1;
    win = 0;
};
lvOut.score = 676;  //for testing only
lvOut.sendAndLoad("http://www.gothics-r-us.com/getscore.php", lvIn, "POST");

//Then in a function to update the score....

scor = scor + (win - bet);

// this will return 676-1 instead of 675

any ideas??
