passing a function as an argument

[SaulT]

Is this a thing? I could have sworn that I saw it once in someone's code but I'll be danged if I remember where. Looking to see if anyone knows how, my google fu isn't turning up anything.

I'm looking for something like this:

function modA(func)
 instance(a)
(
  a = func(a);
);

obj.modA( invert() );
obj.modA( scale() );

Does it exist? What's the proper syntax?

I don't think there's a way to pass functions in jsfx. You could send a variable, and call a function in the inner loop which looks up and calls the function you actually want. But yeah, not pretty with lots of branching.

If possible, I would have expected a syntax without the ().

No, you can't pass a function in JS/EEL (unless I missed something big!). You can pass a pseudo-object reference using func(namespace*), maybe that's what you remember?

Ok, that's what I saw. Thanks, that sinks one ship but possibly floats a different one.
