Hi Mark
I tried your script and it does not work? Your script did not designate if
it is in a card, button or field. I put it the card then the field and it
did not work in either of them?

Hi Vaughn,
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
using correct field references?

What I did was to build a new stack and added 3 fields and a button. I
added field 1 to field 2 and put the sum into field 3 and it works fine.
SO, why would it not work in the design app? is there some setting or
something to make it work or not work?

It made sense to test on a new blank stack and it worked there, so now I

Once you have fields on your card, you need a way to execute the script the
various Marks were referring to.
I'd say your best bet for this test would be to also add a button and put
whatever script you have for adding the fields into that.
Alternatively, you can place a handler in the card and c

I kept changing things until it worked. I had to make the button script

I tried to use "set the numberFormat to "#.00" -- dollar format" and it

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 like a challenge, so this is just not enjoyment when little stuff ties

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

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.
