The compiler only catches strict typing issues at compile-time, not run-time. It doesn't know what this.jaar is (because it's being loaded in at run-time) so it doesn't catch that you're loading a string into it. Since AS2 isn't actually strict (just for the compiler's sake), you can put strings into variables you type cast as Number. You need to type cast the strings as numbers when they load in.
var jarr:Number = Number(this.jaar); etc. HTH, Steven _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
