if i just use setvariable() there always is an error
it should ampliefy like for example the value is 12 you deal 7 dmg = 19 dmg dealt
but when i use setvariable and set it 12 and then deal 7 dmg
the dmg dealt is 7120 -.-

Then that's probably just how the game is coded.

SetVariable() makes the variable to string, so when it* adds to health, or DMG, it's like adding text to the current variable.
*The flash game. |

i understand 
and so the calculation isnt 7 + 12 (without changes by VB) = 19
its then: 7 + [TEXT] = 7[TEXT]0 (cause value still is 0)
but how can i make the flash game and VB knows its a number (and no text) ?

I don't think there's any way. |

Use a conversion method for the string. Something like:
| Code: | Dim strStringNumber As String
strStringNumber = "7" & Text1.Text & "0"
Dim dwNumber As Long
dwNumber = CLng(strStringNumber) |
Which will convert the string to a long. But if you are passing it to SetVariable, it will have to be a string. Seems to me like you are either not correctly combining the number like you want or something.

It's not a bug, it's how Flash handles the values. Everything is a string but will still be interpreted as a number if you use a number as the string.
So if your string is 123, it will be handled as if it was a number. If you use a123, it will attempted to use it as a number, (Possibly use it as a the hex value, not 100% sure on that since I don't touch Flash much.)
