Ah yes I've encountered this. What I do is I have 2 functions: getParentCard()
and getParentStack(). pass the long id of any object on a card and they return
the long id of the card, or the long filename of the stack respectively. Then
you can use go tParentCard and that will compile. Your issue is in fact, why I
wrote these functions! They are very simple as you can see:
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
