[object object] dynamic text error :(

Question

Hey, I was just in the middle of my programming and I wrote this onto some dynamic text:
var wood:Number;
wood = 0;
var water:Number;
water = 0;
var s_water:String;
s_water = toString(water);
var s_wood:String;
s_wood = toString(wood);
statsInstance.text = "wood: " + s_wood + " water: " + s_water;
And then when I run it, the text shows:
wood: [object object] water: [object object]
Please help!
Thanks.

Answer 1

there is a method toString(), it's not used like that.
and, it's not clear what you're trying to do but you'll probably come closer to what you want by casting wood and water as strings:
var wood:Number;
wood = 0;
var water:Number;
water = 0;
var s_water:String;
s_water = String(water);
var s_wood:String;
s_wood = String(wood);
statsInstance.text = "wood: " + s_wood + " water: " + s_water;
