If call is what you need then of course you should use it.  But using value
to specify an object is generally straightforward when you take a moment
analyze any errors that occur.

In the example above the script quoted from the error string is different
from the one Ken posted.   There may be a problem with what was posted, but
there might also be a problem with the script that was used.

Solving the problem at hand will require seeing the script.  But hang in
there -- there are many flexible options at your dispoal, all using
tried-and-true techniques, and I'm confident you'll find them as easy to
work with as SuperCard's via once we get past this moment of unlearning.
