Don't you mean:
put the dgdata of grp 1 of CARD 1 OF stack "path/to/dgstack.livecode" into
tDataA
If you are going to be using full paths for this, I recommend using my fine
functions getParentCard() and getParentStack().
function getParentCard pObjectID
put offset("card id", pObjectID) into tStartChar
put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tCardID
return tCardID
end getParentCard
function getParentStack pObjectID
put offset("stack ", pObjectID) into tStartChar
put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tParentStack
return tParentStack
end getParentStack
As you can see they are very basic. Pass a long id of the calling object and it
returns the long card ID or the long name of the parent stack. Now you can do
this:
put getParentCard(the long id of me) into tThisCard
put the dgData of grp 1 of tThisCard into tDataA
