oop - Access parent's parent from javascript object

Question

Something like

var life= {
        users : {
             guys : function(){ this.SOMETHING.mameAndDestroy(this.girls); },
             girls : function(){ this.SOMETHING.kiss(this.boys); },
        },
        mameAndDestroy : function(group){ },
        kiss : function(group){ }
};

this.SOMETHING is what I imagine the format is, but it might not be. What will step back up to the parent of an object?

Answer 1

I simply added in first function

parentThis = this;

and use parentThis in subfunction. Why? Because in JavaScript, objects are soft. A new member can be added to a soft object by simple assignment (not like ie. Java where classical objects are hard. The only way to add a new member to a hard object is to create a new class) More on this here: http://www.crockford.com/javascript/inheritance.html

And also at the end you don't have to kill or destroy the object. Why I found here: http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/answers/152552-javascript-destroy-object

Hope this helps
