I think what the good doctor wanted to do was this:
on mouseUp put "xx" into myVar put the long id of fld (word 1 of myVar) into theFld do "put gizmo into" && theFld end mouseUp Now "gizmo" is placed into, er, the field Craig put the long id of fld (word 1 of myVar) into theFld put "gizmo" into theFld -----Original Message----- From: Dr. Hawkins <doch...@gmail.com> To: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Thu, Nov 13, 2014 6:54 pm Subject: can't put into field by id? With a sequence like, put the long id of fld (word 1 of myVar) into theFld put "gizmo" into theFld I end up with "gizmo" in the variable theFld, rather than the field it references. Am I doing something wrong, or does this just not work for fields (7.0-RC2) -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
