What is the best approach for scripting with name mapping or without name mapping?

Hi, I just whant to clarify that I am using system full path which mapped to an object and not using name mapping option at all. Some time my scripts get fail due to object identificatio...

    I set-up a script that acts as an "object repository" and define all the objects as functions, like this:

    var testBrowserType = "iexplore";

    function mpPortal_Link_FAQs(){return WaitForAndReturnTheObject(Sys.Browser(testBrowserType).Page("*"), new Array("ObjectType", "innerText"), new Array("*Link*", "*FAQs*"), 99);}


    //wait 5 seconds if page and object load time doesn't sync properly with page.Wait()

    var objWaitTime = 5;

    function WaitForAndReturnTheObject(page, attribs, vals, depth, waitTime)

    {

    var object;

    var theWait = 0;

    if(waitTime != null)

      theWait = waitTime;

    else

      theWait = objWaitTime;

    for(var i = 0; i <= theWait; i++)

    {

    object = page.Find(attribs, vals, depth); 

    if(object.Exists)

    {

      return object;

    }

    else

      if(theWait > 0) Delay(1000); 

    }//end for



    try

    {

    Log.Error("Object not found! " + attribs[0] + ": " + vals[0]);// + ", " + attribs[1] + ": " + vals[1]);

    }

    catch(e){}



    return object;

    }  //end WaitForAndReturnPageObject(page, attribs, vals)

thePanel = parentPanel.FindAllChildren(new Array("ObjectType", "innerText"), new Array("Panel", "*" + textBoxIdentifier + "*"), 9999);

  thePanel = new VBArray(thePanel).toArray();

  foundRightPanel = false;

//Text directly preceding textbox with ONLY spaces and no text

//before it in the same panel

  re = new RegExp("^\\s*" + textBoxIdentifier);

  len = thePanel.length;

  panel = null;

  for(var i = 0; i < len && !foundRightPanel; i++)

  {

  if(aqObject.IsSupported(thePanel[thePanel.length - i - 1], "innerText"))

  if(re.test(thePanel[thePanel.length - i - 1].innerText))

    {

     panel = thePanel[thePanel.length - i - 1];

     foundRightPanel = true;

    }

  }



  theTextbox = thePanel.Find("ObjectType", "TextBox", 9999);
