Create an instance of smart-contract to interact with when contract address is not already specified
// this is useful when you have to interact with contract instanciated on-the-go from another contract and can't use the deployed() method of truffle-contract
/**
*
* @ABIJSON : a JSON object representing the ABI file ( mostly generated with a solidity compiler or a deployment framework ( embark / truffle )
* @nodeEntryPoint : node of the ETH chain to interact with
* @scDeployedAddress : Address of the contract to interact with
* @myMethod : Method of the smart contrac to call
* @arg1,arg2,argN : some arguments for the method.
* @signatureAddress : address originating the transaction
* @maxGas : gas that will be provided for the transaction. If can't be determined in advance, should be quite large, moreover if you plan to call a method that itself will deploy another contract
*
