the line that calls Hello is:

functionptr = JS_CompileFunction(cx, glob, "Hello()", 0, &argnames,
functionscript, strlen(functionscript), "default.pac", lineno);

 rval =0;
 executed = JS_CallFunction(cx, glob, functionptr, 0, jsargv, &rval);

I thought that is how it was called, its compiled with the Function name
"Hello()" linked to the functionptr and then using JS_CallFunction on the
same functionptr would call the function. Or do I need to used
CallFunctionName rather than call function, but that seems pointless as i'd
be passing parameters and names twice. once on compile and once on the Call.
