Thanks, Tom, it makes sense. I never imagined you could emulate public and private variables within a behavior that simply. It has sunk in, but getting it to stick in my brain is a different story...
Going forward, I may have more questions on js syntax. A recent project I just completed made extensive use of Flash<-->Director communication, and I am just pondering the notion that it might be easier to stay within one syntax between the two programs, even though I was raised on lingo. I think it might make it easier in the long run for me. One thing I'd like to suggest, is that in the script window, the js syntax doesn't seem to auto-indent when, in my case, I actually get it correct. :-) - MM [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email lingo-l@penworks.com (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
