OK, this code produces an error - but I can't see why (and I worry about
that :-)
I have a field inside a group inside a group ,
and the following code :
on mouseup
local tName, t1, t2
put the long name of fld "F" into tName
put tName & ",12,13" into t1
put "t1" && t1 &CR afte
I think that 'item 1 of t1’ has to be resolved to an object reference before it
can be used with the vis property. The earlier lines are doing that, but not

It seems that LiveCode has gotten stricter with this in recent versions,
requiring “of me” or such when referring directly to a

Why aren't you setting the vis of tName?

It was not a "real" fragment of code - in that case I would indeed
