settimeout i Flash

Der findes også en timeout i Flash, hvis du benytter Flash Player 8 eller højere:
function test() {
    trace("test");
}
setTimeout(test, 1000);


Du kan også bruge setInterval, du skal bare cleare den igen:
function test() {
    trace("test");
    clearInterval(itv);
}
var itv:Number = setInterval(test, 1000);

Hvorfor virker dette ikke kan du svarer mig på det?
Den tracer "done", men stat er stadig ligemed "Sender beskeden..."

/*  */
user_input.text = "";
stat.text = "";
chatBox = "<b>Chatten</b>: Velkommen"
function myFunc() {
    this._parent.stat = "";
    trace("done");
}

/* SEND FUNCTION */
send_btn.onRelease = function() {
    var msg = this._parent.user_input;
    var stat = this._parent.stat;

    if(msg != "") {
        this._parent.stat = "Sender beskeden...";
        this._parent.user_input = "";
        setTimeout(myFunc, 1500);
    } else {
        trace("Du skal indtaste en besked");
    }
}

Det er på grund af scopet. Prøv at trace this i din myFunc funktion.

Du kan løse det ved at benytte Delegate klassen til at styre scopet:
setTimeout(mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, myFunc), 1500);

scopet?
Delegate?

Prøv at læse denne tutorial for en forklaring:

Fra tutorialen:
"The event object you receive always includes a reference to the caller. This may sound a bit esoteric, if you don't understand don't lose sleep over it, but the scope in which the callback is called can be forced using a Delegate, yet you still know the original piece of code that dispatched the event. That gives you a lot of flexibility, since classes can handle events within their scope while keeping track of the real caller and all of this without ugly hacks, compiler fooling and other things that make babies cry."
