OLAP ... Adobe example used; need help fixing a bug (clearing variables on error)

Question

Okay ...
So I used one of the Adobe examples except now it's part of a container and it's using a datasource instead of the flatfile the example uses.  Also, for some reason I need to create a button instead of using the creationComplete to get it to work.  My problem is if the button is clicked to fast while it's loading the data (since another part of the application has a dropdown menu so you can requery information) you get an error and for some reason, you'll still get the same error even if the data is fully loaded and even if you change the parameter to reload the data.  My feeling is that the variables are not getting cleared out after it throws the error.
So my question is what is the best way to clear out the variables (and how) when it throws an error.  The code for the page is below.
