Looks to me like your numbers are actually strings. When strings are added together they form a new string: “2” + “3” = “23” (strings), where 2 + 3 = 5 (numbers). Make sure your numbers are numbers and not strings. Here’s a function you can use to sum up all the numbers in your array then:


Array.prototype.sum = function(){
var output = 0;
for(var q=0;q<this.length;q++){
if(!isNan(this[q])) output += this[q];
}
return output;
}
// Usage:
test = [2,5,3]
trace(test.sum())
