Assigning 'this' to a variable in Javascript

I'm taking an object oriented approach with Javascript, for two reasons. One, because it helps me learn, and two, just in case my code is to be distributed. I already have assigning functions to variables and using `this` for public variables. I'm running into problems using `this`, however. When I'm in a "private" function, `this` refers to a different scope, and I can't access the variables under `this`. I'll illustrate my point. ``` var ClassObject = function() { this.var1 = 'Hello'; var var2 = 786; this.func1 = function() { alert(this.var1); // Alerts Hello alert(var2); // Alerts 786 } var func2 = function() { alert(this.var1); // Alerts undefined alert(var2); // Alerts 786 } } ``` The only way I've found to give `func2` access to `this.var1` was to make another variable assigned to `this`: `var c = this`. Is this the best way to go about this task, or even widely acceptable? Can anybody offer a better solution? Thank you all.
