I thought that an earlier thread had concluded that best practice was to use
this. public class variables instance. private class variables var VariableName for private function variables Andy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Darcey Spears Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 12:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CFCDev] "Variables" scope....tearing out hair 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 Darcey Darcey Spears Q3Studios Collaborative Web Development www.q3studios.com 520-360-5425 ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
