How to call a javascript constructor from an external file

Question

I have a file (a.js) where is defined a constructor like this:

var Gauge = function( config) {
    Gauge.Collection.push( this);

    /**
     *  Default gauge configuration
     *  @struct
     */
    this.config = {
        renderTo         : null,

and also several functions. I would like to create that object from an other file and then call functions in it. How can I do it?

Thanks

Just `new Gauge()`? Doesn't it work? – Bergi Sep 11 '13 at 16:27 — Bergi, Sep 11 '13 at 16:27

What about:

myGauge = new Gauge();

If this doesn't match to your pattern, take a look at differnent Javascript OOP patterns, e.q. in this thread.

If my answer doesn't help, please post more code, e.q. on jsfiddle.net.

I am pretty sure that all you need to do is to make sure that a.js is loaded before the file that you will be using to instantiate Gauge.
