Bill,

Have you tried this using value("getValue()",...) instead of value(getValue,...)? I think getValue is interpreted as a string. Probably, this isn't a bug but just how xTalk languages are supposed to work.

Kind regards,

Folks:
I think I’ve found a bug when trying to call a function and get a return value 
out of the message path.

I make a stack with a group containing 2 buttons, and a 3rd button to call the 
function>

Script of calling button
on mouseUp
    breakpoint
    put value("getValue",group "myGroup" of card "myCard") into tVal
end mouseUp

Script of group named “myGroup”
function getValue
    return "This is my value"
end getValue

When I click the calling button, I get “getValue” returned. The actual return 
value of the function is not returned.

I’ve tested this in 7.1.2-r3 and 8.0.0 DP15.
I’m using Mac OSX, El Capitan.

Is it a bug?

Bill
