You need to pass anonymously function for that:
this.xId = window.setInterval( function() { this.run() }, 2500 );
Or better is to bind this function with this context:
this.xId = window.setInterval( this.run.bind(this) , 2500 );
Note that bind are implemented in ECMA-262, 5th edition, so for crossbrowser compatibility you need to add this:
if (!Function.prototype.bind) {
Function.prototype.bind = function (oThis) {
if (typeof this !== "function") {
// closest thing possible to the ECMAScript 5 internal IsCallable function
throw new TypeError("Function.prototype.bind - what is trying to be bound is not callable");
}
var aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1),
fToBind = this,
fNOP = function () {},
fBound = function () {
return fToBind.apply(this instanceof fNOP
? this
: oThis || window,
aArgs.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
};
fNOP.prototype = this.prototype;
fBound.prototype = new fNOP();
return fBound;
};
}
"this.run()"is evaluated in global scope and there,thisrefers towindow. I assume you don't have a functionrunin global scope.
