The only use for THIS in an OO-based component is to return THIS at the end of the constructor. That returns the entire component for use as an instance.
The properties will be in the VARIABLES scope; they can be used via getter and setter methods. This is where the ARGUMENTS scope comes in - the setter methods take an argument, check it for validity and then set a value in the VARIABLES scope. The VARIABLES scope remains between method calls, acting as storage within the instance. On 2/17/06, Aaron Roberson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What about the constructor function?
