You're missing the quotes around "the hilite of button 3". What
happens with your code is that revolution evaluates the line before
actually handling it:
request TRUE from application HyperCard
Put it in quotes, as in:
request "the hilite of button 3" from application "HyperCard"
to tell it you want HyperCard to evaluate the string by making it
look like any ordinary string to Revolution.
