Access to Types field from within a function, should throw syntax error.

SuperStrict

New TCrasher.CrashIt()


Type TCrasher
	Field Test:String
	
	Method CrashIt()
		
		RandomFunc()
		
		Function RandomFunc()
			Print Test					'<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Forbidden access to test
		End Function
		
	End Method
	
End Type

Its because Functions are not fully related to the Type. You would need to pass an instance of the type as a parameter to function to gain access.

I agree its confusing as the Function isnt available from outside the Type scope, giving the effect that the function is indeed a part of the Type and should be able to the Types variables.

Something like this is needed :

SuperStrict

New TCrasher.CrashIt()


Type TCrasher
	Field Test:String
	
	Method CrashIt()
		
		RandomFunc(Self)
		
		Function RandomFunc(This:TCrasher)
			Print This.Test					'<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Forbidden access to test
		End Function
		
	End Method
	
End Type
