Displaying the value of an variable on the stage

Question

I have managed to display the values contained in string variables on stage, and I am happy with that, however when I wish to display the value of an int and convert it to a string as one is supposed to do the output to the stage just calls it [class int] and does not give its value. any suggestions?
My rogram contains a stage at frame 1 which displays a word. The user must input a word. Frame 30 then displays the word which was displayed and the word input by the user. That all works fine. But the value of the variable NumberRight, which has been assigned to that variable will only display as [class int] without showing its value. (even though I have converet it to a string using the .to string function you see below).
My code is as follows;
trace( "The number correct was" + NumberRight); //This works fine in the output window and shows the value of the variable as NumberRight [class int]1 (showing the value to be 1)
outputText.appendText("in/"+textAtIN); //this works fine displaying the word presented and word input by user as in/in
outputText.appendText( NumberRight.toString(     )); //here lies the problem as it just displays [class int] and nothing else.
Yes I have managed to overcome that problem it was some code on the first frame, please excuse, however, now, is there any way to remove the [class int] bit from the displays, I wish to have the results as a clear copy of the results so that they can be printed out, without [class int] all over the place?

Answer 1

Hi Ned thanks for that. Yes I had accidently created blank spaces in the String() argument. (wanted to check if there was a subsequent difference in display and forgot to return them to normal ...Sorted )
Your next suggestion has eliminated the [class int] but I get a value now of 0.
My code on the first frame for a correct response for example is;
function keyPressedIN(event:KeyboardEvent):void
          if (event.keyCode == 13)/*Normally,this will move straight on to the next frame-
          recording a correct response and all that that implies in terms of scores etc. But now I have re directed it to Frame 30 to check are the variables working properly*/
                    //insert code for correct responses vowels etc.
                    VowelI = VowelI+1;
                    NumberRight = NumberRight +1;
                    stage.focus = stage;
                    //There is no need to display the text box as this is a correct response.
                    pupilsResponseIN.visible = false;
                    mainText.visible = false;
                    gotoAndPlay(30);//at the moment this takes me to the display frame to check if all is ok
On the first frame when the user say hits the Return key my code assigns the value of +1 to the variable; eg
NumberRight=NumberRight+1;
and the value of +1 to the value of VowelI
VowelI=VowelI+1
At Frame 30 the code is as follows;
stop();
trace( "The number correct was"+ NumberRight);
outputText.appendText("in/"+textAtIN);
outputText.appendText( "\n");
outputText.appendText("Vowels Correct ="+(int(VowelI).toString()));
outputText.appendText( "\n");
outputText.appendText("TotalCorrect="+(int(NumberRight).toString()));
//outputText.appendText( VowelI.toString());
Now what I am getting  is
in/in
Vowels Correct = O
Total Correct = O
Yet the trace (output box) records the Number correct as [class int]1 
many years ago I wrote this same program in Authorware using similar code. I am trying to re write it in FlashCS5 using ActionScript 3 and It take days to solve small problems. I notice also that If for example the user of the program makes an error and I record the error as NumberRight =NumberRight -1 the program records it as Total Correct = NaN .
I gave up on this a few months back but I am trying again. I think there must be a better way to do this. Variables do not seem to add up or subtract for me at present. no doubt its me thats got it wrong.
