So if I make a new song object called jabbascript. The this property within the constructor function will be the value jabbascript which will then be passed to the media.call(). So the "this" in Media.call( this , title , duration ); is really
Media.call( jabbascript , title , duration );
and media.call() is like media().
and all of the media objects goodies are given to the song object to be used.
ok darius.

So passing this would be equivalent to passing jabbascript (no quotes).

229,732 PointsFor bold, surround the word or phrase with double asterisks (**) or double underscores (__).
Example: **Check this out** becomes Check this out.
