Subject: RE: [CFCDev] anyone able to explain why I'm getting this
CFC-related error message?
When you are inside a custom tag, you are referencing the Variables scope of
the calling page when you use the Caller scope, so your code should look
like this:
Caller.Blah.args = structNew();
if ( Attributes.SomeID IS NOT "" ) {
Caller.Blah.args.Mode = "ThisID";
Caller.Blah.args.theID = Attributes.SomeID;
}
etc.
In other words, get rid of the variables scope declarations in the code.
Not sure why you're doing this rather than just passing the component as an
attribute. The component is passed by reference, so you'd get the same
result, but you wouldn't have to rely on knowing the name of the variable in
the calling page. In general it is a good thing if you only every pass data
into a component call, or custom tag rather than having it relying on the
context in which it is being used.
