Hi,

We've succesfully managed to embed and run JavaScript in our app using
spidermonkey so far, I've hit a bit of a stumbling block tho.  Does
anyone know if the following is possible somehow?  If I've got the
following bit of script defined 'globally'

function MyFunc()
{
    SomeGlobalVar=10;
}


then this script associated with one object in our application

function MyOtherFunc()
{
    Var = SomeGlobalVar * 2;
}

and this script associated with another object in the application

function MyOtherFunc()
{
    Var = SomeGlobalVar * 3;
}


I'd like each of the final two bits of script to be able to use the
first global function and variable, but only see it's own version of
MyOtherFunc and Var. I don't want two totally separate sets of script
- I only want to define and run MyFunc once, since it may do something
very time consuming. Hope that makes some sense :)

Thanks!

Rich.
