Increase by 1

[rmethod1234]

Hello all,
I'm writing a small time tracking application and i've run into a small
problem. I have a textbox that displays the number of hours a user has worked
on a specific project. I'm trying to set it up so when the user clicks on a
button, the number in the textbox increases by 1.

Here is the code contained in the button:

_root.labor_time.txtHours.text = _root.labor_time.txtHours.text+1;

When i test this out instead of increasing by 1 it's appended to the current
number. For example, if a 1 is currently in the textbox it is changed to an 11
then 111 and etc.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

it sounds like the number displayed in the text box needs to be converted from text to integer or number.

_root.labor_time.txtHours.text = int(text) + 1;

_root.labor_time.txtHours.text = Number(_root.labor_time.txtHours.text) + 1
