Using CreateObject with init correctly

[Richard East]

I have seen code where an object was created like this:
        <cfset userInfo=CreateObject("component", 
"objects.player").init(REQUEST.id) />

The method I had been using that works is like this:
        <cfset REQUEST.id = 1 />
        <cfset userInfo=CreateObject("component", "objects.player") />
        <cfset userInfo.init(datasource) />
        <cfset REQUEST.qryUserDetails = userInfo.getUserDetails(REQUEST.id) />
        <cfdump var="#REQUEST.qryUserDetails#"><cfabort />

I have tried the method of initiating the Object as it is created, but when I 
do I get an error:

        <cfset userInfo=CreateObject("component", 
"objects.player").init(REQUEST.id) />
        <cfset REQUEST.qryUserDetails = userInfo.getUserDetails(REQUEST.id) />
        <cfdump var="#REQUEST.qryUserDetails#"><cfabort />

This fails with the error message, “Variable userInfo is undefined.” Would 
someone clarify how I can do this correctly and what would be best practice?

Thank you for your help and opinions,

Richard
