Using setTimeout to call an imported class function

>>setTimeout(myTex.getAction, 5000, seat);
That should work. Did you import the class on the same frame? And, you won't be able to access instance props this way. But that's a side note.

setTimeout() is a function, not a method. And you'd be calling an
imported class method, not a function. But I hear ya.

Since setTimeout() isn't documented -- even though it *is* a documented
function -- it's hard to know for sure. Perhaps it only invokes functions
rather than methods. I honestly don't know.

That said (caveats aside), what about this?

setTimeout(function() {myTex.getAction(seat);}, 5000);

... assuming, of course, that myTex and seat are visible from this scope.
