* This method should be called when we want to call / transact some solidity method from javascript

*
* var abi = [{

* inputs: [{ name: 'a', type: 'string' }],
* outputs: [{name: 'd', type: 'string' }]
* }]; // contract abi
*

*
* myContract.myMethod('this is test string param for call').call(); // myMethod call
* myContract.myMethod('this is test string param for transact').transact() // myMethod transact
*
* @param address - address of the contract, which should be called
* @param desc - abi json description of the contract, which is being created
* @returns contract object
