Then it does it by luck - you should never have a variable with the same
name as an object. That's one reason we recommend prefixing variable
names - uioViewed instead of Viewed.

Jim,

It's both a uiObject variable, and a field name. It all depends on your
scope.

If you use the var/endvar listed above, then in this method 'Viewed' is an
unassigned uiObject until you do something to it. Outside of this method,
'Viewed' would refer to the field name.

I think there have been a few comments on naming conventions. For a defined
uiObject, try to put 'ui' in its name, as in uiViewed.

Sorry folks, I missed Liz's previous answer to this.

That was my original point. If you looked at my earlier response, I
suggested removing the ambiguity by renaming the uiObject variable to
uiViewed. I did not realize that he had been trying to attach the uiObject
variable Viewed to the uiObject Viewed, but it scarcely matters. The error
was thrown because of an unassigned variable, not by naming a uiObject that
was out of view.
