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

* usage example:
*
* var abi = [{
* name: 'myMethod',
* inputs: [{ name: 'a', type: 'string' }],
* outputs: [{name: 'd', type: 'string' }]
* }]; // contract abi
*
* var myContract = web3.eth.contract('0x0123123121', abi); // creation of contract object
*
* myContract.myMethod('this is test string param for call'); // myMethod call (implicit, default)
* myContract.myMethod('this is test string param for call').call(); // myMethod call (explicit)
* myContract.transact().myMethod('this is test string param for 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
