Yea, I noticed that... somebody else suggested leaving off this, so I figured it out after he suggested it... It's unfortunate tho... because it prevents there being any way to insulate methods against namespace conflicts between method arguments and function names when private access is specified... If you have an argument and a method with the same name, there's no way to access the method without using this.methodname() -- but you can't do that if methodname is a private method -- so... you have to chose between the argument name and the private access for the function. Maybe that seems petty -- it's just really annoying to me... imho calls to this scoped methods should be private. s. isaac dealey 972-490-6624 team macromedia volunteer http://www.macromedia.com/go/team chief architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to onTap is open source http://www.turnkey.to/ontap ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
