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 after msg

   put item 1 of t1 into t2
   set the vis of t2 to TRUE
   put "t2 was OK" &CR after msg

   set the vis of (item 1 of t1) to TRUE
   put "using parens OK" &CR after msg

   set the vis of item 1 of t1 to TRUE       -- this line fails !!
   put "here" &CR after msg

end mouseup
that line fails, with the error message

button "Button": execution error at line 14 (Chunk: error in object expression) near "field "F" of group id 1005 of group id 1007 of card id 1002 of stack "/Users/alextweedly/Dropbox (Personal)/Apps/objectchunk.livecode"


I just cant see why that doesn't work :-)

If I use parentheses, or if copy the first item over to a different variable), then it is all OK. But doing it directly (AFAICT) should work, and doesn't. What am I misunderstanding ?

Thanks

Alex.
