What's the actual output versus the expected output? I'd say expected would be this:
scopetest scope unknown scope parent scope unknown scope this scope unscoped (your unknown scope) is shorthand for the variables scope. the 'this' scope is actually a subscope of 'variables', so #this.test# is equivalent to #variables.this.test# from within the CFC. The 'variables' scope (including the 'this' scope) is inherited by subclasses. Your "special" object-name scope, is nothing more than a struct inside the 'variables' scope, exactly as you'd expect to have happen in "normal" CFML code. Since the 'variables' scope is private, your new struct is also private. cheers, barneyb On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 14:37:18 +1000, Taco Fleur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Following is just interesting, when I read about CFC scopes I always hear > about the private and public scope, i.e. > > this.test = public > variables.test = private > test = private > > But it appears that the name of the object is also a (seperate) private > scope, see following: > > ****** Save as ScopeTest.cfc > <cfcomponent extends="Parent"> > > <cfscript> > ScopeTest.test = "Hello there!
