can't put into field by id?

[dunbarx at aol.com]

I think what the good doctor wanted to do was this:



on mouseUp
   put "xx" into myVar
   put the long id of fld (word 1 of myVar) into theFld
do "put gizmo into" && theFld
end mouseUp


Now "gizmo" is placed into, er, the field


Craig

put the long id of fld (word 1 of myVar) into theFld
put "gizmo" into theFld

With a sequence like,

put the long id of fld (word 1 of myVar) into theFld
put "gizmo" into theFld

I end up with "gizmo" in the variable theFld, rather than the field it
references.

Am I doing something wrong, or does this just not work for fields (7.0-RC2)
