Re: wierd function behavior within classes.. Bug?

Remember, You *can* make certain values in a function optional. Place them on the right side of the arg list and give them a default value, like: function myFunction(arg1, arg2, arg3 = "foo", arg4 = "bar") { ... function guts ... } Hope that helps.
