Try:
on mouseUp
  put the clickChunk into tPos
  put the textColor of char (word 2 of tPos) to (word 4 of tPos) of me into
tOriginalColor
  set the textColor of char (word 2 of tPos) to (word 4 of tPos) of me to red
  put char (word 2 of tPos) to (word 4 of tPos) of field 1 into gSomeVariable
  wait 30 ticks
  set the textColor of char 1 to -1 of me to tOriginalColor
end mouseUp
