using setInterval in objects

[shawntim]

hi guys,

i manage to solve the problem already, thanks to a good Delegate Tutorial from

quoted from Actionscript.ORG

Another neat way in which you can use Delegate is with setInterval. Internally when functions are called from an interval the scope is sometimes not passed along, so that trace(this); will show undefined. You can properly impose a scope on an interval using the following actioncript:

import mx.utils.Delegate;

function traceThis()
{
trace(this);
}

var myInt = setInterval(Delegate.create(this, traceThis), 1000);
