String to Variable

[lumstar]

Hey Guys, It's me again,

I read variables from a file which control the clip. One of these variables (named numdocs) is a user-defined integer between 0 and 10. I can read this variable and display it on the screen in a dynamic text box, however I cannot convert it to an numeric variable for use as a parameter. parsefloat(numdocs), parseint(numdocs) and Number(numdocs) do not seem to be working.... Pleas help!

Thanks in advance, Lumstar

I cant see why number(numdocs) is not working. Can you post your code?

try parseInt("numdocs", 10)
the 10 to force a decimal response
