Hello Exter, 

  try something like this:

float  myFloat;
Float mynewFloat = new Float(myfloat); 
Float textFieldFloat = new Float(myTextField.getString());

then you should be able to multiply your mynewFloat and your
textFieldFloat together.  If you need to convert the result back into a
float, I believe there is a function of the Float class like
Float.getFloat()  or Float.toFloat(), if you look in the jdk
documentation, you should see the proper method to use.

hope this helps,
Clint Brewer
