How's about:
if the vis of field x is true then
if word 1 of the owner of field x is "card" then
-- add this field to myFieldList
else
if the vis of the owner of field x is true then
-- add this field to myFieldList
end if
end if
end if
This script checks the owner of the field is not a card (cards don't have a
visible property and checking it would cause an error). Then it checks the
visible of the the owner of the field (which could either be a group or
stack).
This assumes all stacks you are searching are visible. Also, if you have
nested groups (your field inside a group which in turn is inside a group),
you would need to check further up the hierarchy for visibility.
