[Closed] "this" variable in simple scripted plugin to extend Point helper

Hi all

I am writing a simple plugin that extends the Point helper (see below). The instance of the plugin is going to be created from another script. When an instance of this plugin is created I want it to grab some data from a currently selected object and then position the instance relative to this object. To do this I used the

on create do ()

Event handler. I am using the “this” local variable to set some of the instance parameters (LouvrePos, LouvreDir, LouvreWith, LouvreHeight), which works fine. But if I try and use “this” to access the position or name, I am getting “unknown property” errors. See below

plugin helper LouvreControl
name:"LouvreControl" 
classID:#(0x727e101b, 0xbf75d18)
extends:Point 
replaceUI:true
invisible:true 
(


.........

on postcreate do
	(
        --look at first spline in selection
	RefSpline = for o in selection collect o
	RefSpline = RefSpline[1]	
	
        --Function to extract an array of information from the spline
	LouvreStats = ApertureSplinePositioningData RefSpline	
	
        --This all works fine
	this.LouvrePos = LouvreStats[1]
	this.LouvreDir = LouvreStats[2]
	this.LouvreWith = LouvreStats[3]
	this.LouvreHeight = LouvreStats[4]
	
        --These next lines kick up errors! saying unknown property
        this.pos = RefSpline.pos
	)

)

Error: Unknown Property pos in LouvreControl

Is there anyway to access name or position (and other) propertes, so I can position etc the instance of the pluggin correctly? Even if I could select it, it woudl do, but “select this” returns an error too.

I am getting the feeling I am doing something very basic wrong, if someone could shed some light on the situation I would be very grateful indeed!

Thanks for your time guys…
