RE: [Dynapi-Dev] slide extension

[Pascal <pb...@oi...>]

normally (if I'm not mistaking) Javascript will call the  toString() of an
object in this case of the setInterval(). The DynLayer object contains this
method toString() which sort of identifies the object itself to Javascript..
that's why it works correctly.

I think.. :)
