setInterval passing parameters

[zstasa]

I'm wondering if someone has an idea why this won't work....

//------------------------------
function example(){
trace(this);
}
example();

setInterval(example, 100);
//-------------------------------------

When I call function without setInterval it traces "_level0" , but when function is called with setInterval, function traces "undefined". ...

Does anyone have idea how to fix this?

replace your setInterval call with its alternative syntax:
setInterval(this, "example", 1000);
this identifies the scope of the function being called. see livedocs
