Well, in half an hour I need to fetch more Birch wood for the fire

There are som quirks I’m wondering about…

I’m in the Eclipse, Adobe extension builder 3. It’s all awesome. Everything speaks to you. vowels. Birch. Fire…

So if you have a html page, and you call for a javascript function.
Why would you call it from something like this?


$._ext_PHXS={
    run : function(){
},
}

I was under the impression that the $ sign had all to do with the html document root, but it doesn’t. It seems just to be an javascript object. But if it is omitted, it doesn’t work. (I think that it is so, I’m not sure).

So it is possible to describe a function in an object, right? Javascriptwise…This would be normal right?

var myobj = new Object();
myobj = {
IBelieveInSantaClaus : function(){
alert("santa");
}
}
myobj.IBelieveInSantaClaus();

so why all the strange syntax?
is it necessary or do they hate the flashers so much?
