Hello,I have a question about XML path. I'm able to get an informations from xml file (specific numbers), however I'm not able to make a mathematic operation with it. I can trace it as a number, but when I want +/- or */ flash is complaining about that it's not a number.VydraPrize = xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[dayCount].childNodes[0];* VydraPrize my variable defined as number before**dayCount my variableShould I understand that this is not number but some kind of object, or path?Thanks for helpWZ

Ok I solved it, there should be actually

xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[dayCount].childNodes[0].text() + .nodeValue then it's appearing as number.

Thank you very much anyway for inspirating looking for problem in right way : )

xml data is normally in String form. Try forcing it to be a Number and see if that helps...

VydraPrize = Number(xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[dayCount].childNodes[0]);

Also, you might try tracing the follow to see what you are dealing with. I am not an xml expert at all, but I know that my dealings with it in the past usually havve me looking for the text() of a node, not the node itself, as in...

xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[dayCount].childNodes[0].text()
