[amibroker] mixing AFL+JS: help needed

["black_marubozu" <bromba@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello,

could anybody explain to me the variable visibility/accessability topic when mixing AFL with JS? for example, I have no problem with the following code:

EnableScript("jscript");
<%
function fjsDoArray( jsStr ) {
  jsStr += "postfix";
  AFL(jsStr) = [];
  AFL(jsStr) = AFL("Low");
  jsStr = "prefix" + jsStr;
  AFL(jsStr) = [];
}
%>
objScript=GetScriptObject();
objScript.fjsDoArray("name");
Plot(namepostfix, "namepost", colorRed);
prefixnamepostfix = H;
Plot(prefixnamepostfix, "prenamepost", colorGreen);

whereas this fails with comment: "Variable 'namepostfix' used without having been initialized."

EnableScript("jscript");
function fDoArray( aflStr ) {
  local str;
        str = aflStr;
<%
  var jsStr = AFL("str") + "postfix";
  AFL(jsStr) = new Array();
%>
}
fDoArray("name");
Plot(namepostfix, "namepost", colorRed);


why do fjsDoArray() work whereas fDoArray() does not? I would greatly appreciate explanations..

chrers,
BM
