Hey all -
I've got a question which is simply one of curiosity.
I have a collection of 'Tool' scripts which I use from project to
project, which have been encapsulated into an all-purpose parent script,
called say "Tool Scripts Parent". This parent script has no properties;
it simply consists of functions (tools).
I can access the methods of these scripts in one of two basic ways:
1. Establish an instance and then call methods of the instance.
ie: gTools = new(script "Tool Scripts Parent")
then: gTools._SomeFunction()
or
2. Call the script directly, by referring not to an instance, but the
script name.
ie: gTools = script("Tool Scripts Parent")
then gTools._SomeFunction()
Is there really any difference between the two? Any preferred method?
Understanding of course that the parent has no properties at all - it's
simply all encapsulated in a parent script for ease of use.
I've been using the former approach (new()) for a few years and didn't
realize I could directly use the latter approach. Anyways, just
curious..
