One of the quickest ways to clear up scope issues using setInterval is to use the Delegate class...

I'm trying create a simple image slide show using the MovieClipLoader and setInterval, and I can't get a reference back to my dynamic MC logo containers. In my class I have : private function createSlides(logoData:Object){ trace('//Creating Slides'); var ref = this; totalLogos = logoData.length; for(var i = 0; i < totalLogos; i++){ var tempLogo = target.createEmptyMovieClip('logo'+i, target.getNextHighestDepth()); tempLogo.website = logoData[i].attributes.website; imageLoader.loadClip(logoData[i].attributes.image,tempLogo); } logoInterval = setInterval(this,'slideshow',3000); } 'target' is a reference back to the main MC instance(container). Images load just fine. private function slideshow():Void { trace(target); trace(currLogoIdx); trace('grrr = '+ target.logo[currLogoIdx]); //var logoFadeIn:Tween = new Tween(target.logo[currLogoIdx], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 1, true); if(currLogoIdx == (totalLogos - 1)){ currLogoIdx = 0; } else { currLogoIdx++; } } My trace on 'target' and 'currLogoIdx' return proper values, but the one on target.logo[currLogoIdx] returns undefined. If I trace('grrr = '+ target.logo1); or logo2, logo3 and so on, it returns the proper MC path. Any ideas?
