Instantiated component reference

2003-01-02 Thread Robert Polickoski
Hello all,

I am trying to set a local variable in an instantiated component 
from outside the component.  It has a reference ID that is 
assigned by the server using CreateUUID().  However, when I try to 
reference it, I get the below error.  Does anybody have any 
suggestions?


The string SERVER.stObjects.7FCC2AC7-ABAA-1582-
E7F8A4739E33862B.subMenuVisibility.ulAuthorMenu is not a valid 
ColdFusion variable name.  
Valid variable names must start with a letter, and can only 
contain letter, numbers, and underscores.  


Thank you in advance.

Try bracket notation. Assume X is the UUID:

cfset server.stObjects[x].subMenuEtc = whatever
