Christophe is right. Here is an example of how I would right a class that
has private variables, public properties, private & public instance methods,
and public static methods (where applicable I will highlight multiple ways
to achieve the same thing). Note: by placing the definition of public
properties and methods within the class's constructor, you guarantee that
those are instance level members.

myClass = Class.create();
myClass.prototype = {

// public static members
publicStaticProperty1: "this is a public static property",
publicStaticMethod: function () { alert("this is a public static method");
},

// constructor
initialize: function (initProp1, initProp2) {

// private variables
var someVar = "this is private";

// private methods
function privateFunction() { alert("private method"); }

// public instance properties
this.publicInstanceProperty1 = "this property is public and only available
to instances";

// public instance methods (obviously has access to all private members)
this.publicInstanceMethod = function() {
alert(someVar);
privateFunction();
alert(this.publicInstanceProperty1);
}
}
}
