one variable greater than other, do this

This is the code i came up with

if("spaceCount" > "clickCount"){
winner = "The SpaceBar!";
};
if("clickCount" > "spaceCount"){
winner = "The Mouse!";
};

but it always returns The SpaceBar in my dynamic textbox. clickcount and spacecount are both variables with numbers

When you put quotes around it, it becomes a String. Just a bunch of letters.

Quick Thing: "Num" is a string. Num is a variable which can be further defined by using var Num:Number. That makes it so that the variable Num can only hold numbers.

Wow, super speedy response. First AS forum I found with that.

ok, when i take out the quotes, it doesn't put anyhting in the dynamic text box. New code:

stop();
if(spaceCount>clickCount){
winner = "The SpaceBar!";
};
if(clickCount>spaceCount){
winner = "The Mouse!";
};

I need to stop at that frame, is it affecting anything?
