Hey, 

Sorry about the response time (i have been away on hols for last
week).

What i was actually aiming for with the line: 

Map.Entity("Name").Leg(BONES_LEG_LEFT_THIGH).Move(x,y,z,distance);

Was a Map Object (added to the Global JSObject), which had an Entity
Object which in turn had a Leg object, which you could use to get /
set properties, and execute methods (ie. Move(); GetParent(); etc).
You would ultimately be able to have .Arm, or .Head properties for the
entity, as well as the usual .name = , .age = etc :) the same going
for map, which may have .Entity, .Surfaces, etc.

I may have confused you with the notation of above line, but i meant
that Entity("Name") would call Map.Entity and pass in a string, which
i could use to select a given entity from the map, where as i was
thinking along the lines of an Enum (or global const properties for
the BONES_LEG_LEFT_THIGH) etc for the leg object (ie
Leg(BONES_LEG_RIGHT_THIGH) instead of LEFT) :)

I havent found any tutorial that really explains how to correctly pass
your say Leg object to your Entity object in this manner (and most of
the code i have made results in huge memory leakage, and exceptions
within the spidermonkey (obv due to my stupidity) :)

Can you point me anywhere relevant to this sort of use of
spidermonkey???
