Function within function within function

[joel2k8]

Hmm, maybe this is possible or not but I have tried and failed, what I would like is to be able to do the following:

function Player()
{
	this.name = "Bob";
        this.animate= function(direction)
	{
		return direction;
                stop = function() {
                       //code here
                }
	} 
}

Then I simply want to do the following:

var player = new Player();
player.animate("left").stop();

I tried many different ways and the only way I could get it to work is by using:

player.animate.stop();

I know many will know how to do this but I tried researching and couldn't find any results, thanks if you help...

everything after return would not be executed, it need to be blocked off with a switch, loop, or if statements. The code you gave in the first block does not do anything by return in the first statement.

Oh right, though I don't need the return statement, if I remove it... it still doesn't work.

function Player()
{
	this.name = "Bob";
        this.animate= function(direction)
	{
                this.stop = function() {
                      return 'kawabanga';
                }
return this;
	} 
}

then

var player = new Player();
player.animate("left").stop();
