When multiple levels native inheritance are involved, it's possible to end up with JS classes where calling one member function might work but the next one (via a parent class somewhere else in the inheritance the chain) might not be able to find its "this" pointer. (Been there, done that.) Working around this type of problem requires, in my experience, special care to be taken when implementing the C++ wrappers. There are class-wrapping frameworks out there to help simplify this process. Mine, e.g., is: http://code.google.com/p/v8-juice/wiki/ClassWrap i know a few other listers here have others, though. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ -- v8-users mailing list v8-users@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users
