    MovieClip.new using curly braces instead of parenthesis?

    edited September 2012 in General questions
    I noticed in the documents that MovieClip.new uses {} instead of parenthesis. Is this a lua thing? Or a gideros thing? Why is it using curly braces instead of parenthesis?

      that's lua thing. these 2 function calls return same result:
      function test(params)
	print("params length: ", #params)
end
 
test({"a", "b", "c"})
test{"a", "b", "c"}
      params length: 	3
params length: 	3

      @kamcknig as @hnim stated, thats basically a shorthand for passing table as an parameter. ;)
