Usage 3: This example uses a method of an object. You must use this syntax when you want to
call a method that is defined for an object.
obj = new Object();
obj.interval = function() {
trace("interval function called");
}
setInterval( obj, "interval", 1000 );
obj2 = new Object();
obj2.interval = function(s) {
trace(s);
}
setInterval( obj2, "interval", 1000, "interval function called" );
You must use the second form of the setInterval() syntax to call a method of an object,
as follows:
setInterval( obj2, "interval", 1000, "interval function called" );
