[CFCDev] Strange cfc problem

[Waterswing Studio Trond Ulseth]

Hi all,

I got a cfc bean that models a sweater.
One of it's attributes is color.
The argument for color passed in is something like "t_gul".
I want to "translate" the color to normal language.

When I try the following (pseudo) code I get an error:

Element is undefined in a CFML structure referenced as part of an _expression_.
Tag Context D:\Inetpub\kunder\nordicprint\model\beans\genser.cfc
(I've made bold the line throwing the error)

Can someone explain why this does not work?

genser.cfc:

<cfcomponent
    displayname="genser"
    output="false"
    hint="A bean which models the genser form.">
