This is probably a problem with the object reference.

You can refer to all objects with a longer reference such as 'field 
"Bear Names" of card "Ring Three"'.

Or you can refer to them relative to the object with the script that 
has the "message machine", as I call it.  Like this:  'field "Bear 
Names" of the owner of me'.

And in the send, send it 'to me'.

I have a primer stack at my site that explains a little on using 
'send'.  You seem to have good basic grasp, though.
