What type the variable Action has? Should be string...

What you are trying to do could only work in true interpreted languages 
- perhaps; it is a total non-sense in every serious programming language.
Gambas is a serious language, so it can not do what you (erroneously) 
expect. But gambas is not innocent - it lets you to compile non-senses...

The error "Not an object" is right: you tried to call a string - which 
is not an object.

More info if you want...
