Flake User Object Instantiation

To instantiate the Flake User Object, another script is required:

<script id='_PAGEFLAKES_FUO' type="text/javascript">
      var _PAGEFLAKES_ = new com_pageflakes_hello('_PAGEFLAKES_');
</script>

This script is included once for every time the Flake exists in the page set, and it simply creates a new instance of the Flake User Object. For a given instance, here is what the actual executed code may look like:

<script id='abc12345FUO' type="text/javascript">
      var abc12345 = new com_pageflakes_hello('abc12345');
</script>

Note:

• It is important to use the _PAGEFLAKES_FUO for the id tag of the <script> element so that the Pageflakes framework creates one such script block for each instance. If the _PAGEFLAKES_ token is not specified, the framework only creates the block once. Thus, not all instances of the flake Flake User Object are created.
• The abc12345 variable that is created here is added to the global namespace in the Generated XHTML Document and is the reference used to access the flake’s Flake User Object.
