Call a function if String number is inferior to 0

Hi all,

I've got a movieclip named toolbar which is linked to Toolbar class (Tollbar.as).

In this movieclip, there is a dynamic text field named "argent".

I've got an this in my Puzzle.as :

public function blabla:void{
stageRef.dispatchEvent(new Event("checkingMoney"));
}

And in my Toolbar.as :

public class Toolbar extends MovieClip{
private var stageRef:Stage;
                    private var money:int;
                    public function Toolbar(stageRef:Stage){
                              this.stageRef = stageRef;
                               money = 9999;  
argent.text = money.toString();
                              stageRef.addEventListener("checkingMoney", checkMoney, false, 0, true);
public function checkMoney(event):void{
                              trace("checking");
                    if (money < 0){
        trace("dangerous");  
}
}

I can't see where the problem is. The function checkMoney is called (as I see the trace "checking"), but the

  if (money < 0){
        trace("dangerous"); 

doesnt' work. Yet, the number is far below 0....

Do you know what could be the problem ?

Thank you very much.

it's not less than zero from the code you showed. 

use the trace function to confirm money is still 9999:

public function checkMoney(event):void{
                              trace("checking",money);
                    if (money < 0){
        trace("dangerous"); 
}
}

You're right. The money is still 9999. Can you tell me what's wrong on my dropMoney function please ?

private function dropMoney(e:MouseEvent):void{
toolbar.argent.text = String( Number(toolbar.argent.text ) - 100 );

(note : "argent" is the dynamic text field in my movieclip "toolbar")

i don't see a problem with anything in message 2, but there's nothing in message 2 related to the problem in message 1.

in particular, you are not changing the variable money.

possibly you want to do something like:

public function checkMoney(event):void{
                              trace("checking");
                    if (Number(argent.text) < 0){
        trace("dangerous"); 
}
}
