[Laszlo-user] changing variable values... How?

[Alexander Wallace]

Hi all.. this is a really stupid question, but I can't find out why it  
doesn't work... I'll type some pseudo code here:

<canvas>
        <attribute name="someAttr" type="boolean" value="false" />
        <method name="init">
                super.init();
		Debug.write("someAttr value before an attempt to change",  
getAttribute("someAttr"));
                setAttribute("someAttr", true);
		Debug.write("someAttr value after attempt to change",  
getAttribute("someAttr"));
        </method>
</canvas>
Well... No matter what combination of accessing the var I've tried, i  
can't change the original value... What am i doing wrong?

Thanks!
