Hi,
Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here.....I'm using this example from Sean's CF Coding Standards:


<cfcomponent>

    <cffunction name="example">
        <cfset var localVar = "Just in this function" />
        <cfset variables.nonPublicVar = "Non-public data member" />
        <cfset anotherNonPublicVar = "Not recommended - use 'variables'" />
        <cfset this.publicVar = "Public data member" />
    </cffunction>

    <cffunction name="more">
        <cfset var localVar = "Different to example localVar" />
        <cfset var x = variables.nonPublicVar & " set in 'example' above" />
    </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

Display CFM page has:

<cfobject name="someVarTest" component="wherestom_working.dirPackage.standards_var_example">

<cfinvoke
 component="#someVarTest#"
 method="more">
</cfinvoke>

I've also tried just a direct invocation of the "more" method:
<cfinvoke
 component="wherestom_working.dirPackage.standards_var_example"
 method="more">
</cfinvoke>

and no matter what I do with variables.nonPublicVar it just doesn't seem to be defined or available outside the method where it's created. I get an error saying "nonPublicVar is not defined in Variables" every time I try to use it.

I'm running CFMX 6.1 on Windows XP with the default installation.

I must be doing something wrong....but what??? My understanding is that "variables" scope variables are available to all methods in the component in which they are defined.

Thanks for any help you can provide to keep my hair actually attached to my head... =:0
