I don't know if this applies, but it might. The long id of an object can be used where an object reference is expected. It can be a way to reference the object in any context. You can pass the value to functions. Example: on mouseUp put the long id of field "Field" into f doSomething f end mouseUp command doSomething lid set the text of f to "Start" set the startTime of f to the long seconds move f relative 10,0 end doSomething As you can see, you have to 'set the text' rather than use 'put' to change the value in a field.
