Number Comparison only comparing first digit

[goody1577]

I'm writing a quiz program in flash that access a database using asp. The quiz length is pass from asp to flash. but when i compare the current question number to quiz length it seems to only compare the first number.


Ex.
When it tries to load the third question of 20, this happens.

Question = 3
Length = 20

(Question > Length) return true.

It seems to only be comparing the first digit of variable.
But if I put Length in a textbox it displays the number fine.

I'm not sure but maybe you should try using number

I had a similar problem when I loaded a value in from a text file. Flash thought they were text because they were on seperate lines and had CR/LF at the end.

I had to convert them to numbers and remove the end characters :-

Flash
question_qty = number(q_qty.substring(0,(q_qty.length-2)))

quiz.txt
&question_qty=3
&question_points=1
