a+b+c+d=e  
f+g+h+i=j  
(e+j)/(amount of sums, 2 in this case)=k

I thought I understood how to do this based on what you explained to me before… but I am still just as messed up. Can you or somebody else explain to be how I would script this or refer to a tutorial that can help me out on this topic.

what do you want to do, exactly. If this is a Mathematics question what is it doing in the Flash MX forum?

You want to calculate the average between the 2 sums? What’s wrong with what you posted? [size=1]except that it should be e=a+b+c+d and not the other way around[/size]

yes i want so when I type in input text boxes… “a”,“b”,“c”, and “d” I receive a sum in dynamic box “e.” The same process with text boxes “f”,“g”,'h",“i”, and “j”. Then I want “K” to add up boxes “e” and “j” and divide it by two.
