class extend variable scope in unityscript

Question

Let me be more specific here: This is used in Unity 2017 so the syntax they are using is this:

class CameraMotionBlurEditor extends Editor 
{   
  var preview : SerializedProperty;
  var previewScale : SerializedProperty;
...
  function OnInspectorGUI () {
    if (preview.boolValue) dosomething()
  }
}

What I'm getting errors in is this preview.boolValue reference.. it claims it's ambiguous so therefore whatever this class is extending, must also have a declaration of that variable name. What I don't know is how to specify the local one.

this.preview.boolValue

The this keyword is used to refer to the current instance of the class. Retrieving the preview.boolValue from the current instance of the class hence becomes this.preview.boolValue:

function OnInspectorGUI () {
  if (this.preview.boolValue) dosomething()
}

Note that UnityScript is slowly becoming deprecated, and the recommended route of action is to instead program Unity scripts in C#.
