How to access 'this'.method in an object in Javascript?

Question

I have the following code:

function MyFunction () {
   this.my_method1 = function () {};
   this.my_method2 = function () {};
}

How can I access this.my_method1 in this.my_method2. I have tried using:

• this.my_method1()
• MyFunction.my_method1()
• my_method1()

but none seem to work. Help?

The MyFunction function is basically a constructor. Therefore, to access methods you need to create an object out of it:

var foo = new MyFunction();
foo.my_method1();
foo.my_method2();
