converting string from a textfield to float

[system]

I am creating a program using unity that includes mathematical equation, therefore input of numbers is necessary. Input from textfield can not be used as an int or float for the equation. I tried floatfield but it does not work when I played it,the value can not be edited. So, I planned to use textfield and just convert string to float or int but the problem is I don’t know how. May ask for suggestions of what I should do or what can I do?
I am using Javascript.
thanks…

it should be capital (P)

float.Parse(string);

and your variables should be “private var…”

e.g.

private var w:String = "800";
private var h:String = "600";

private var wToInt:int;
private var hToInt:int;

then in your setup function

wToInt = float.Parse(w);
hToInt = float.Parse(h);

float.parse(string);

also, this question has been asked many many times. Please use the search in the future

This is a new way for me also… Thanks.
I tend to use parseFloat(String);

I’ve never done it that way before. I notice you use string instead of String. Does this mean this is C# code? N.m. I’ll go check the docs for that.
