myCustomFormatter is a static method meant to be passed to a component. In writing that I'd assume it was called out-of-scope--which rarely matters for statics anyways.
(yeah, I'm making assumptions over how the component is written and how the function is written, but aren't a few assumptions better than an all-out-block on the functionality?) And NDA prohibits me from remembering any discussions that may (or may not) have taken place about different/possible/alternate implementations. :-) Sam > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Chotin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 1:08 AM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Compilation error "Only functions > in the document are allowed" > > You're right that MyComponent calls the function without > specifying scope, which means that "this" is going to be > MyComponent.
