dynamic tag creation

[JJBBDD]

Looking for a way to dynamically evaluate a tag from a string. eg:

<cfset tmp = '<cfset myRslt = "Hello">'>

<cfoutput>
#tmp#
</cfoutput>

this prints <cfset myRslt = "Hello"> after compilation.

[i want to be able to see the result of: #myRslt# -- but it ends up undefined

throwing evaluate() around it doesn't help either.

Anyone know a way to evaluate the tag, pre-compilation. I'm thinking I might
have to write the string to separate file, then call it as a ctag or include
it. I'm also thinking that's more trouble than it's worth. Does mach-ii
implement something like this?

thanks in advance for any advice.

How come you're trying to store a CF "tag string"? Is this what you're trying
to do?

<cfscript>
myRslt = "Hello";
tmp = "myRslt";
WriteOutput( Evaluate( tmp ) ); //Outputs 'Hello'
</cfscript>
<cfabort>

that's the idea, but I want to dynamically write the code for a <cfchart... >
tag then execute it. so it's more complicated than evaluating a variable.

the crux of the issue is that i need the option to include the SCALETO and
SCALEFROM attributes in a <CFCHART..> tag. i think the best way to solve this
is with an if/else switch but that leads to redundant code which drives me nuts.
