I tried all of the suggestions folks listed. Here are my results (OSX El Capitan, LC8 DP15): on mouseUp
breakpoint put value("getValue()",group "myGroup" of card "myCard") into tVal1 (Result: Works correctly) --put value(getValue(group "myGroup" of card "myCard")) into tVal2 (Result: Throws an error) dispatch function "myFunction" to group "MyGroup" of card “myCard” Result: returns “unhandled") dispatch function “myFunction()" to group "MyGroup" of card “myCard” Result: returns “unhandled") put value("getBtnValue()", button "inGroup" of group "myGroup" of card "myCard") into tVal3 (Result: Works correctly) put value("getBtnValue()", button "inGroup" of card "myCard") into tVal4 (Result: Works correctly) end mouseUp Thanks for all the suggestions. Note: There is still the error in the livecode lessons. I’ll post a bug report on that one.
