XML content to NUMBER

Here is, what I’ve got to do.

I have an xml which has several nodes, each has an attribute which holds a num (a price of product). Now, after the xml loaded into flash i list out all the product, displaying the names and the price. Under the lis I’ve got to write out the sum for all the prices. But when I just simply use this method

sumNum += accNum

inside the main cycle, I create the list, it just doesn’t work, coz it sees the price tag as a STRING, so it just puts each tag after one another, insted of adding them together.

How could I solve this?

Thanks! :slight_smile:
