Subtracting number (AS2)

[bb-panzu]

when i put this frame action

timer.text -= 1;

and when i have this MC action

onClipEvent(load){
_root.cam.timer.timer.text = 90;
}

It turns the 90 into a -1 instead of subtracting. Help?

You're taking away a number from a string.
Make a variable first. Use that as your number.
Do the calculations with that then set the textbox.text to the variable.

Btw if I can offer some advice, port your assets over to construct or something. You really shouldn't do flash development anymore.

Flash has been dead for a long time.

Btw Construct is up to version 3 now. It's a fantastic tool. Though I still recommend that serious game developers spend time with Javascript and its associated libraries and frameworks. And all the major CSS frameworks too. And C# development. Windows applications with C# will teach you a lot.
