I have 2 text entry fields on one card and i need to multiply them and display the result.
I need to have the result put into another field on the same card.
Obviously I am brand new to LiveCode (thursday night).

Hi trags3 and welcome to the forum
Assuming you have a card with three fields and button, put the following code into the button's script
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put field 1 into tNumber1
put field 2 into tNumber2
put tNumber1 * tNumber2 into tResult
put tResult into field 3
end mouseUp
Then populate fields 1 and 2 with the numbers you want to multiply and click the button
NB: the above is about as simple as it gets and there is no error checking (for example the script relies on there being valid numbers in fields 1 and 2)
