'this' scope, you'll be able to set the variable just as you think you
should. However, if you don't use a scope, or use the variables scope, you
will be unable to change the variable from outside the component.
Public data members should reside in the 'this' scope, but all private
instance data should reside in a structure within the 'variables' scope. I
use 'my', because I don't like to type, but the most common is 'instance'.
So you'd have something like this:
variables.instances.myVarName = "hello";
What you proposed (somethin like this):
o = createObject("component", "path.to.cfc");
o.myVarName = "hello";
Is the same as having this inside your CFC:
this.myVarName = "hello";
