I have a spreadsheet uploaded via Mura's file manager. I need to read that file using ColdFusion and for that I need a query object returned via the read() method of Mura's file manager bean. In order to call the read() method I will need the fileID. The problem is I don't have that. I have the filename and it will always be the same. I can't use $.content because the file wasn't uploaded to the current page. Any ideas?

Basically any ideas about how can I use this 

<cfset file = #$.getBean('filemanager').readMeta(item.getFileID()).filename#>

That code does not work for me because it refers to item.getFileID and as I am not in a loop I am unable to use it.

Since you know the Mura content node that holds the file will always have the same name, you can load the content bean based on that name.

bean = $.getBean("content").loadBy(name={name}, siteID={siteID})

(siteid is optional)

If there are more content nodes with the same name, the call loadby function will return an array off all beans.

More info on loading content beans: http://docs.getmura.com/v6/back-end/base-mura-objects-beans/loading-beans/

Once you've got the right content bean, you can ask for it's fileId.

bean.getFileId()
