Baz, That has some pretty severe limitations however -
- It can't be thread safe, as you are overwriting the same variable name - If you wish to invoke that method from another CFC, you must maintain the context of that method on that CFC, otherwise the context of the method you are invoking is lost, and could quite possibly cause an error Mark On 10/23/07, Baz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > @Brian, there is a reason and method to the madness! > > @Matt, that solution won't work for this particular case because I know > functionOne() will certainly define 1 named argument, but what that argument > name is I won't know.
