Hmm, I know I must be doing something really stupid, here is my code: Local number:Int = CountBlock() Local percentage:Float = ( number / (COLUMNS*ROWS) ) *100 Now number is returning 55, (COLUMNS*ROWS) = 70 but percentage is equalling 0.0!?!?! Where is the obvious error? ;-) cheers

Use type casting: p:Float = (float(number) / (columns*rows))*100
