Accessing parent 'objects'

[bradeck]

Given the following:

function Obj1()
{
this.elem1 = "blah";
this.Obj2 = Obj2;
}

function Obj2()
{
}

I can call Obj2 by stating:

Obj1.Obj2();

but how does one access elem1 from Obj2?

[glenngv]

var myobj = new Obj1();
alert(myobj.elem1);
myobj.Obj2();

Close but not what I need. I need to access Obj1's elem1 member from Obj2, not from an instantiate object of Obj1:

function Obj2()
{
foo = this.elem1; // this is what a book says
this.elem1 = "newtest"; // but this fails with error...
}

This works for me:


function Obj1()
{
this.elem1 = "blah";
this.Obj2 = Obj2;
}

function Obj2()
{
alert(this.elem1); //alerts blah
this.elem1="foo";
alert(this.elem1);//alerts foo
}

var o = new Obj1();
o.Obj2();
