new (Class Method) >>-new(target,messagename-+-------------------------------+-)-->< | +---------------+ | | V | | +-,Individual---+-----------+-+-+ | +-,argument-+ | +-,Array,argument---------------+ Initializes the message object for sending the message name [messagename] to object [target] . The [messagename] can be a string or an array. If [messagename] is an array object, its first item is the name of the message and its second item is a class object to use as the starting point for the method search. For more information, see . If you specify the Individual or Array option, any remaining arguments are arguments for the message. (You need to specify only the first letter; all characters following the first are ignored.)
If you specify neither Individual nor Array, the message sent has no arguments. Note This method does not send the message [messagename] to object [target] . The SEND or START method (described later) sends the message. |
