I tried all of the suggestions folks listed. Here are my results (OSX El 
Capitan, LC8 DP15):
on mouseUp

breakpoint
put value("getValue()",group "myGroup" of card "myCard") into tVal1    (Result: 
Works correctly)
--put value(getValue(group "myGroup" of card "myCard")) into tVal2      
(Result: Throws an error)
dispatch function "myFunction" to group "MyGroup" of card  “myCard”   Result: 
returns “unhandled")
dispatch function “myFunction()" to group "MyGroup" of card  “myCard”   Result: 
returns “unhandled")
        put value("getBtnValue()", button "inGroup" of group "myGroup" of card 
"myCard") into tVal3 (Result: Works correctly)
put value("getBtnValue()", button "inGroup" of card "myCard") into tVal4 
(Result: Works correctly)
end mouseUp

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Note: There is still the error in the livecode lessons. I’ll post a bug report 
on that one.

Best,
Bill
