In addition to Jacque's explanation above, I think at the openStack
stage the field exists but has not yet been populated with data.
Moving the command to go to the desired card into the openCard handler
may provide better results. If not, you can try something like

on openStack
  send "gotoCard" to me in 1 second
end openStack

on gotoCard
  go to card (field "aaa" of card 1)
end gotoCard
