Re: [Dynapi-Help] ... is not a constructor

You've effectively destroyed the PhotoAlbum constructor object with this
line:

var PhotoAlbum = null;

Also, you shouldn't name a variable after a constructor:

PhotoAlbum = new PhotoAlbum();

You're basically saying "take the PhotoAlbum constructor and make it a
PhotoAlbum."

Try this instead:

MyPhotoAlbum = new PhotoAlbum();
