I think the idea is that you must navigate to the context. From the 
top context, Try getting the Inline node, What is the context? The DEF 
of the Inline node must be the name of the context,

context.node,field
it seems like all three parts are always needed to operate of a field: 
the context name (the DEF of
the Inline), the node name (the DEF of the node), and the fieldname

valueofnodefield = DefofInline.nameofnodeinInline.nameofNodefield;

Thanks, I haven't looked back at those for a long time. Tony got that 
running in Flux then I tried to extend it but then Flux went the way 
,,,

Look at the end of the example where after things change, the root 
nodes get reloaded. Not sure if that was just that Flux needed reload 
or if all browsers would.
