1. Tim Poulsen 2014-03-13 You're not taking into account JavaScript's [variable hoisting](http://www.kenneth-truyers.net/2013/04/20/javascript-hoisting-explained/). Rather than using a function statement, use a function declaration.

      function myFunc() {
        // this whole function, including its contents will be hoisted to the
        // top of the enclosing scope, as if you declared it before other variables
        // this is called a function declaration
      }
      
      var myFunc = function() {}; // is treated as if you wrote it this way:
      
      var myFunc;
      // the rest of your variable declarations and other code comes here
      // then the assignment of your function to the myFunc variable
      myFunc = function() {};
      
      var myFunc = function() {}; // is called a function statement
      

2. Tim Poulsen 2014-03-13 JavaScript hoisting issue, not Alloy problem
3. Guile 2014-03-14 Thank you Tim! :-) I am aware of this and found the solution by using a function declaration (I didn't know all of the terms you said) I still don't know how I can use a _.throttle(function () {}) event then (by example).
4. Tim Poulsen 2014-03-14 We're getting a bit off topic here and Jira isn't really for help conversations. That said, check the Underscore docs http://underscorejs.org/#throttle or perhaps http://drupalmotion.com/article/debounce-and-throttle-visual-explanation If you're still stuck, ask in the Q&A forums please.
