Making attributes variables outside cfc
Hi, I have a cfc. I am trying to convert several variables into attributes variables from inside a method, but of course, these variables are not available outside the cfc. I can convert them into form or URL variables, but not attributes. Is there a way I can make these attributes available outside the cfc?

However, if you pass in the attributes struct as an argument to your method, the method can store values into it via the argument: In the CFC: cffunction name=foo cfargument name=attributes type=struct cfset arguments.attributes.answer = 42 /cffunction In the calling code: cfset myObj.foo(attributes) Another option would be to create and return a struct in the function and have the calling code append that to its attributes: In the CFC: cffunction name=foo returntype=struct cfset var attr = structNew() cfset attr.answer = 42 cfreturn attr /cffunction In the calling code: cfset newAttr = myObj.foo() cfset structAppend(attributes,newAttr) HTH -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
