There is no difference between setInterval() and setTimeout() in this
aspect. The function invoked by any of them has no object context
("this" is undefined inside the function), so use Delegate to set the
scope.

eed> {
eed> private var nTime:Number = 0.75;
eed> private var delay:Number;
eed>
eed> function foo()
eed> {
eed> // stuff
eed> };
eed>
eed> public function doSomething():Void
eed> {
eed> trace( nTime ); // works fine [0.75]
eed> var delay = _global.setTimeout( delayedFunc, 1000 );
eed> };
eed>
eed> private function delayedFunc():Void
eed> {
eed> trace( nTime ); //undefined ?
eed> };
eed> }
eed>
