'new Object();' question.

[cjl]

Hey all:

What happens if I have:

monkey = new Object();

I go on to set some properties, etc., then later call:

monkey = new Object();

again? Is this bad mojo? Frowned upon? Stupid? A source of memory
leaks?

Thanks in advance,
-CJL

All of the modifications that you made to the previous monkey will be
forgotten. Sometimes that is desirable. It is only stupid if that
wasn't your intention.

That is what I was hoping would happen.

Thank you!
