Turn input text string into numeric variable

Question

Hello againI would like to set up a page with four input fields where a user can enter a number.I then want to store those values as variables that I can use to perform calculations.I'm struggling to get this to work - I suspect because my variables are set up as numbers, and my input fields accept strings.  How can I marry the two together?  What I've got so far is:inputReviewAll(null); function inputReviewAll(event:Event):void {      var ReviewNumber:Number = Number(txtNoReview.text);      var ApproveNumber:Number = Number(txtNoApprove.text);      // and so on for other two variables }  // txtNoReview.text = ReviewNumber.toString();Thank youM Hetherington

I don't see anything wrong with what you show. I would normally define the function before I call it, but that appears to compile okay as is.

What problem are you having? I suspect the problem lies in something you aren't showing.

Make sure the textfield are designated as Single LIne, not Multiline. That might be something that could cause a problem.

Since the variables are defined within that function their scope is limted to within that function... so if you are trying to use them elsewhere that won't work.
