Yes, but you should use "get" and then check "the result", like so:

 local a_variable
 on mouseUp
    put "tell app" && quote & "ovolab Phlink" & quote & cr &\
    "get number of party" & cr &\
    "end tell" into tAScript
    do tAScript as applescript
    put the result  into a_variable
 end mouseUp
