Eka, was right about the notation being the problem but I thought I
would mention something small I noticed.
You declare delay as a private property of the class but then declare it
again as a local variable inside your doSomething() method. If you
don't need to access the value of delay outside of the doSomething()
method I would remove it at a private property of the class. Otherwise,
if you do need it outside of the doSomething method I would remove the
var keyword from in front of the assignment so that you are assigning to
the class' property and not creating a new local variable.
You might also want to be consistant with your variable names. You
prefix Time with n for a Number but don't do so with delay.
Also, you can check out my Timer class for something like this:

I have a simple class and I can't access a private var after using
setTimeout... I typed this up to show whats happening:
class foo extends MovieClip
{
private var nTime:Number = 0.75;
private var delay:Number;
function foo()
{
// stuff
};
public function doSomething():Void
{
trace( nTime ); // works fine [0.75]
var delay = _global.setTimeout( delayedFunc, 1000 );
};
private function delayedFunc():Void
{
trace( nTime ); //undefined ?
};
}
?? I could use setInterval and kill it after the first fire, but setTimeout
is nicer. This is AS2 obviously.
