If you have a CFC within another CFC you could save it as either: 1. variables.InsideCFC OR 2. this.InsideCFC
I am fully aware the differences between the 2 scopes and I'm sure most people would say that it is better to save it in the variables scope. However I see a lot of people doing this: - OutsideCFC.getInsideCFC().PerformMethod() A method is defined in the OutsideCFC to return the entire InsideCFC thereby exposing all its methods. Is that not the same thing as just having it directly accessible in the THIS scope? Not to mention that your calls would look nicer: Nicer: OutsideCFC.InsideCFC.PerformMethod() Uglier: OutsideCFC.getInsideCFC().PerformMethod() Cheers, Baz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:228788 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
