Heh, nope. Sorry I guess it is just a VBScript thing... lemmie try to
explain how it would be used...
function MyObject() {
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
this.getSum = function(a, b) {
this.x = a;
this.y = b;
return(x + y);
}
}
if getSum() were set to a be the default method then you could use...
o = new MyObject();
sum = o(3, 5);
this should put the value 8 in sum, if there was a way to set "getSum" as
the default method.
In a way, toString() is a default method. If it exists it gets called
anytime a string type is expected.
does that explain better what I am looking for?

I would swear that C++ hasn't got such an strange thing (VB you say?).
Couldn't you have been confused by the default constructor that the compiler
provides when you don't supply one?
Returning to the original question, i think this doesn't exist. Why can't
you call a function "default" or something like that consistently in all
your objects?
I wonder why could it be useful. Do you want to change it on the fly? I
believe you could do:
MyObject.prototype.function1=function() { bla bla bla };
MyObject.prototype.function2=function() { bla bla bla };
and then:
MyObject.prototype.default = MyObject.prototype.function1;
and change it on the fly using:
MyObject.prototype.default = MyObject.prototype.function2;
Is this what you need?
Regards,
Josep
