I am creating a game, and am using txt files to help load different information.
This code is for a charecter selection screen. On one side I have three races: Troll, Halfling, and Human. Each has thier own button. On the other side of the form there are three races: Beastlord, Druid, and Paladin, again each one is a seperate button. In the middle I have 8 variables with names such as STR, ENR AGI etc...each one has a name and then a text box. I am using the txt files to set the values for what goes in each of the variable boxes. The first set is loading fine, but I want it so that you can click on a race and it brings the stats up, and then you click on a class and it adds to those stats, increasing SOME of the numbers...(whichever I defined in the txt file to do) this is where I am having problems. It seems to me that flash is treating my txt file as a string and so when I ask it to add to those values it does not do it.

Here is what the txt file looks like for the Race buttons...

charRace=Troll&STR=110&ENR=120&AGI=65&DEX=70&FAI=8 0&INT=55&FOC=50&CHA=45

I then put it in flash with this code...

on (release){
raceChoice = "troll.txt";
loadvariablesNum(raceChoice, 0);
}

This all works fine.

My class txt file looks like this...

charClass=Druid&FAI+15&FOC+10

and is loaded into the flash document with this code...

on (release){
classChoice = "Druid.txt";
loadvariablesNum(classChoice, 0);
}


Ok so can anyone tell me why they think that it is not treating this as a variable and adding the two numbers together? The best I have gotten it to do is have the two numbers that i assigned go next to eachother but it would not add them.

Hope someone can help. Thank you
