Michael, You might also need to pass in "pos" - or of course you could simply pass in the URL and full file path and simplify the stuff you are passing back and forth..

Michael, I think you need to pass your filename and dStruct into the thread as arguments... as in <cfthread action="run" name="#threadID#" filename="#filename#" dStruct="#dStruct#"> <cfhttp url="#listGetAt(dStruct.images,pos)#" path="#ExpandPath('./')#/parsed/" file="#fileName#" /> </cfthread> Off the top of my head that's what I remember... that arguments need to be passed in as attributes to get into the scope. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Michael Grant [mailto:mgr...@modus.bz] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 10:08 PM To: cf-talk Subject: CFThread - Am I using it correctly? I have some older code that gets remote content. I wanted to add the use of cfthread to allow the app to run other processes while it's pulling larger files. However once I wrap it in thread tags it stops actually pulling the files. It doesn't throw an error or act any differently except that they code executes much faster since it doens't appear to actually be pulling anything. This works: <cfhttp url="#listGetAt(dStruct.images,pos)#" path="#ExpandPath('./')#/parsed/" file="#fileName#" /> This doesn't: <cfthread action="run" name="#threadID#"> <cfhttp url="#listGetAt(dStruct.images,pos)#" path="#ExpandPath('./')#/parsed/" file="#fileName#" /> </cfthread> Am I missing something? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340093 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
