Addition of two variables linked into two text entry boxes.
Hello Adobe Captivate Community !
Here a new question I would expect to resolve with my adobe captivate ….
I have two text entry boxes.
Each box is related with a a variable : v_1 & v_2
Each One is integrated in a slide.
Here two screenshoot:
What I wish to developp:
I add, a third variable in a classique text caption, nammed, v_3
And I would like to do an addition between v_1+v_2= v_3 and the result of this addition to be integrate into the v_3 text caption.
So, I try to create an advanced action by using “expression” function… but… it doesn’t work. 
A yellow symbol appears when a try to create this advanced action.
If someone could help me…
Many thank’s, 
Chris

You didn’t confirm the choice of the operator. Whenever you see that yellow exclamation mark before a command in an advanced action, it indicates that your command is incomplete. You would see the same indicator in the definition of parameters in a shared action as well.
Maybe you would like this use case:

Hi Lieve, thank’s for your answer, I will check theses ‘playing with numbers’ in Adobe Captivate cases. 🙂
Best regards,

You’re welcome!
Hi Chris, From the last screenshot I can tell that ‘+’ operator is not applied properly. Please Click on ‘+” sign again and select it again. The yellow exclamation mark should go away after that. There should no issue in addition. Thanks.
Hi Ashish.K many thanks for this advice, that’s working now !
Too much losing time for this little thing ! lol
But now all is okay 😉
