You'd run into the same issue with setInterval.
When you specify a function reference like this there is no scope for that
function, so the private var is not within the scope of the function.
Use the alternative call for setTimeout:
var delay = _global.setTimeout(this, 'delayedFunc', 1000 );
Or use Delegate:
var delay = _global.setTimeout( Delegate.create(this, delayedFunc),
1000 );
In both cases you are providing the scope for which the function will
have.

Subject: SPAM-LOW: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
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.
