Got the answer from a coworker, which is to put parens on the varname like so:
<cfdump var="#result()#"> ----------------------------------- I've got a CFC which I'd like to use dynamically. Pass in a string, and call a method with the same name as the string being passed in. I've almost got it working with this line: <cfset var result = VARIABLES['method' & ARGUMENTS.method]> But rather than get the result of the method, I'm getting the method itself as a variable. I can accomplish this using cfinvoke, but I'd rather use CreateObject as I think it's a little more elegant. Can anyone suggest a way I can get the result of the method using CreateObject? <!--- the calling template ---> <cfset cfc = CreateObject('component','dynamicMethods')> <cfset get = cfc.callMethod()> <!--- the CFC ---> <cfcomponent displayname="dynamic methods" hint="dynamic method testing"> <cffunction name="Init" output="false" access="public" returntype="dynamicMethods"> <cfreturn THIS> </cffunction> <cffunction name="callMethod" output="false" access="public" returntype="void"> <cfargument name="method" required="false" type="string" default="One"> <cfset var result = VARIABLES['method' & ARGUMENTS.method]> <!--- <cfinvoke component="#THIS#" method="method#ARGUMENTS.method#" returnvariable="result" /> ---> <cfdump var="#result#"> <cfabort> </cffunction> <cffunction name="methodOne" output="false" access="public" returntype="string"> <cfreturn 'methodOne method call'> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:314366 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
