installed it thinking it was the window size update that was due out last

I'm glad you found the scripting conferences useful. I think as you work
with LiveCode you'll find that the dictionary does a pretty good job of
pointing out most things you need to know, but sometimes you need to
know what it is you need to know before the lightbulb goes on.

Hi Richard
Actually if you take any Opp language or database development language the
complexity is 10 times that of LiveCode. and the Help system is so good it
covers just about any variation you might encounter. This is an example of
what I mean; take formatting a numeric field this should be a
that limited context. This will
guide you in the future with the next 1000 issues that crop up as you learn how
to drive.

That is truly a wealth of information at that link. If I am to learn about

Hi Vaughn,
If you have multiple handlers with equal names in a script, only the
first handler will run. That mus be why your own handler didn't work.
Also, if you have a mouseUp handler in a button and a mouseUp handler at
card level, you need a pass mouseUp command in the button to make the

I kept changing things until it worked. I had to make the button script
with only one mouseUp script and nothing else and it worked. I had a script

Once you have fields on your card, you need a way to execute the script the

What I did was to build a new stack and added 3 fields and a button. I

something to make it work or not work?

If you mean, "I changed the value in the loan percentage field, but nothing
happened," then check what Jim wrote above about the closeField message.
Whenever you change the value in a field, as soon as you click someplace

When you write "it doesn't work", it is useful to include any errors
that you see and the exact code that you used. For instance, did you put
my syntax in a mouseUp or any other handler and are you sure you are

O. One I can help with.
Simplest approach:
Put a script similar to this in a button:
put field "Field 1" + field "Field 2" into field "Field 3

A little cooler:
