Mark J did a great job of answering, but _just_ in case you didn't follow
here's a quick and less educational reply, based on what I can see was
obviously your confusion:
The error is not complaining about your 156. It's complaining about the
variable 'me'
Lingo is expecting to find a sprite number (spritenum), 'me' however is a
memory reference: a section of memory containg every bit of info about that
particular sprite (as explained by mark).
By writing 'me.spritenum' you are indicating a specific data item contained
in this memory section.
Which just happens to be an integer :-)
thus the correct lingo:
on mouseUp me
set the foreColor of sprite(me.spritenum) = 156
end
or even nicer:
on mouseUp me
sprite(me.spritenum).foreColor = 156
end
