i have defined a javascript class function named "jenga" with certain properties and methods.

i have placed this class defining function in my so-called ali-js-tools.js which sits in the 'jsextensions' folder;

i can therefore make a new "jenga" object from whatever js code i write;

now, i would like one of the methods of my class "jenga" to output messages from an outlet of js object whose code created the "jenga" object.

in java you can do this by using the "outlet" method of whatever MaxObject. but how do you do this in js?

Pass in the jsthis into jenga's constructor, storing for later use. 

For example, something like the following (warning email client 

coding). In general this is the strategy to expose any of the stuff 

available to the jsthis object inside shared classes.

        this.maxparent(index,msg);

i understand passing jsthis to my shared class's constructor.

the word maxparent doesn't appear in the JS in max documentation so i having trouble understanding perfectly how it functions.

i'm not sure what the "foo" method of the jenga class does... 

is that to outlet messages from the maxparent's outlets?

once i've attached myself to a parent, x, can i do

The assignment will create maxparent. It doesn't need to have existed

before. Joshua just gave the variable a nice name. to call it, you

can do this.maxparent.outlet(0, "message");

I beleive that by doing:
this.maxparent = x;

Precisely. Sorry for the oversight on the method call in my rushed

MaxObject in javascript and outputing from other objects?
