won't add numbers

[AWEinCA]

I am fairly new with Flash. I got one of those beginer books. I followed the directions exactly and can't figure out why I can't add 2 different numbers from to different input text boxes and assign the sum to a dynamic text box.

This is the actionscript in the on(release) handler of a button.
{
LuckyNumber = Number(Age) + Number(Month);
}

where Age and Month are input text boxes and LuckyNumber is the Dynamic text box.

What am I over looking for something as simple as this not to work?

Thank for any help you can offer!

Frustrated

Did you export the movie and try it?

Hey OldNewbie!

I was hoping you would reply to my question I have got to be overlooking something and it is driving me crazy!!!!

I have exported the movie and used Test Movie, Debug Movie, Test Scene. They all have the same result in the dynamic text box...NaN. For sum reason it has no idea what I am trying to do. I have made sure that the Expression check box is checked numurous times (and it always is).

I'm feeling a little stupid, because as I said, "This should be an easy thing to do!"

Thanks again for replying. I hope you get my response
