Ok I think that's where I'm needing to be, because I need the ability to
access the methods in the animal object. This code loads DATA values into
an array of arrays int the cage, I think??
<cffunction name = loadAnimals returntype=void>
<cfargument name=incomingArrayofAnimals type=array>
<cfloop from"1" to "#ArrayLen(incomingArrayOfAnimals#" index="i">
<cfset arrayAppend(animalArray,
"#arguments.incomingArrayOfAnimals[i]#">
</cfloop>
</cffunction>
Will this give me the animal methods?
Application.cfm
<cfif not isdefined("Session.myCage")>
<cfset Session.myCage = CreateObject('component','cage')
</cfif>
<cfif not isdefined("Session.myAnimal")>
<cfset Session.myAnimal = CreateObject('component','animal')
</cfif>
<cffunction name = loadAnimals returntype=void>
<cfargument name=incomingArrayofAnimals type=array>
<cfloop from"1" to "#ArrayLen(incomingArrayOfAnimals#" index="i">
<-- Pass the array of DATA into the myAnimal object and build it there -->
<cfset myAnimal.new(incomingArrayOfAnimals[i])">
<cfset arrayAppend(animalArray,myAnimal)>
</cfloop>
</cffunction>
Then, when I wanted to know how much the monkey in the cage, cost,would I
say...
<cfset monkeyCost = Session.myCage.getAnimalCost(query.currentRow)>
In the cage.cfc
<cffunction name = getAnimalCost>
<cfargument name = row>
<cfset cost = animalArray[row].getCost()>
<cfreturn cost />
</cffunction>

yeah...also, a thought...in your cage CFC you could have addAnimal() and
deleteAnmimal(). In your DB calls, or form processing calls, you call
addAnimal to add one animal object to your animalArray. Prior to this you
actually create an instance of this animal setting its properties and all.
So addAnimal actually requires an instance of the animal cfc, not an array
of animal instances. Something like this at least. Some of the CFC Jedi
Masters around here may chime in with a definitive view...???
