There are some array functions you can use on Arguments in MX but not all -- as a matter of fact, there are array functions which could be used on the Arguments array in CF 5 that now can't be used on them in MX (imho this is a bug), for instance, you can't use arrayprepend, arrayappend or arrayinsertat on an array in CFMX (which I had been using for several wrapper functions until I realized they didn't work in MX). But ArrayLen() still works.
It's not quite a structure with numeric keys either because when you dump arguments from a udf written with <cffunction> what you see is structure output with _only_ the alpha keys (not the array numbers). If you try using arrayappend() on the object it'll show you the name of the new Java class that's taken the place of the array in CF5. Imho this was poor implementation for MX. I would have much rather seen an array, with values in the array coppied to named variables in the var scope -- presumably the same way it worked in CF5. Doing it this way has only eliminated functionality for me. I don't find it terribly useful that I can now reference arguments as arguments.argumentname in addition to arguments[3] or simply argumentname, so I don't see this as a feature in any way. I'm just stuck with working with it. In any event -- thanks for the heads up on the typo Ray. :) s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 > So really it's a struct where the keys are integers, is > that right? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Raymond Camden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 12:28 AM > Subject: RE: > cffunction_arguments_"[undefined_struct_element]"_--_archi > ved_but_ not > returned? >> I should be more clear - the value of Arguments is both >> an array and a >> struct, not the arguments themself.
