Variable scope problem?

Question

I am not quite sure if this is a scope problem at all, but it looks like one....
Here is the problem:
I have a class in which I define a variable x as folowing:
public class XX
public var x:Integer;
In my fx script file I give it a value:
var t: XX {
x: 10
and it seems that it is initialized... however when I try to use the variable inside the class XX, it cannot be done.
for example I what try to do is
public var yy = YY {
for (i in [1..x]){
...do something...
and the cycle is executed only once!
Is this due to my inexperience in javafx or it is a standard behavior?

Answer 1

Is this due to my inexperience in javafx or it is a standard behavior? Both? :-)
The classical way to compute a class variable from those initialized at construction time is to do that in an init (or postinit) block.
It isn't really a problem of scope, rather of order of initialization.
