Subj : Re: Using ClassCompiler, can I only override public functions with

even more, it looks like js can't even *call* a function that's not 
public.  For instance, in my derived class, I can't call a protected 
superclass member function.

is this just how it is or can I set some kidn of permissions or am i 
just wrong and missing something stupid?

thanks!
