[Xotcl] constructor initialization problem

Hi-
In the simple code below I'm working on to simulate an elevator I am
having a little trouble with the
constructor initializing. I get an error that says "cant read
currentFloor...no such variable."
I thought I had set up the constructor right. I tried following this
format from the manual ---
Room instproc setCeilingColor color {
my set ceilingColor $color
}
Room instproc init args {
my setCeilingColor white
next
}
Here is the code. It bombs out in the body of the method named request
when it tries to read the first
$currentFloor variable. I hope I am getting the idea and it is
something kind of simple I am missing.
Please offer a suggestion if what I am doing wrong is apparent to you.
thank you,

package require XOTcl;
namespace import -force xotcl::*
Class Elevator
Elevator instproc setInitFloor floor {
my set currentFloor $floor ;
}
Elevator instproc init args {
my set setInitFloor 1;
next;
}
Elevator instproc getFloor args {
puts $currentFloor;
}
Elevator instproc request requestFloor {
my set request $requestFloor;
while {$requestFloor > 0} {
if {$currentFloor < $requestFloor} {
set currentFloor [[Ride getFloor] + 1];
puts "going up...current floor is $currentFloor";
}
if {$currentFloor > $requestFloor} {
set currentFloor [[Ride getFloor] - 1];
}
if {$currentFloor == $requestFloor} {
set requestFloor 0;
}
}
puts "current floor is $currentFloor";
}
set requestFloor 4;
Elevator Ride;
Ride request $requestFloor;
Ride destroy ;
