I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

It's saying MainMenuXPBarTexture3 doesn't exist.
The names may have changed in the last patch.

Ok I'm new to this. How do I find out the right names?

I'd suggest looking through the FrameXML files if you can manage to get a copy of them. The textures that are listed in your Textures table seem to come from MainMenuBar.xml and ReputationFrame.xml. I'm sure you can find a recent copy of these to look through somewhere online.

I'd suggest looking through the FrameXML files if you can manage to get a copy of them.

They are available for download here.

Might try using _G[k] instead of getglobal(k). Getglobal's been deprecated.

In this specific case, that wouldn't change anything. According to the same note from Blizzard, the Get/Set global functions removed from the WoW API were implemented in FrameXML as Lua functions.

If getglobal() was completely removed, the error would've been "attempt to call nil" instead of "attempt to index nil". Lua calls the function to get a return value before trying to index it.
