i am receiving a value from a remote ASP (REG) … this value is passed to a “bots” and i can write and view it in a text field (“mensa”) but when i try to use this value in a for loop i got a script error when testing the movie via F12.

bots = Number(\_parent.REG)-1; // number of buttons  
mensa.text=bots;  
for (x=0;x\<=bots;++x){  
mensa.text=x;  
}

ah i almost forgot … the REG variable got the value from a “eval” instruction … does it have something to do with this problem ? … please help

rgc=eval("\_parent.Recibo.RG"+SBS[x]);  
mc.submenu.REG=parseInt(rgc);
