interval scope

Hello Everyone,

Once again I am struggling with finding the right scope for
my  
Interval. Please follow if you have the patience. What
happens is, I  
am trying to call a function from my setInterval but this
function  
doesn't seem to be in the scope of the class for some weird
reason.  
Am I missing something here?

best,
ilteris


class EquipmentManager {
	
	
	private var xml:XmlLoader;
		
	private var equipArr:Array;
	public var xmlInterval;
	public function EquipmentManager(container_:MovieClip) {
		xml = new XmlLoader("studio.xml");
		
		equipArr = new Array();
		
		buildTimer(container_);
		
	}
	
	
	
	private function buildTimer(container_:MovieClip) {
		xmlInterval = setInterval(this, "isLoaded",100,
container_); //  
this function never gets called!
		trace(this.isLoaded()); // when I try to trace the method
it gives  
me undefined.

	}
	
	
	public function isLoaded(container_:MovieClip):Void {
		
		if(xml.isDone()) {
			for(var i:Number = 0; i <
xml.getTotalNumOfEquipment(); i++) {
				var equip = new Equipment(container_);
				equipArr.push(equip);
				//trace(equipArr[i]);
			}
			clearInterval(xmlInterval);
		}
		
	}
	
	

}

Drop the parens:
trace(this.isLoaded);// [type Function] 

I had to comment out the code relating to XMLLoader (since I
don't have it)
in order to eliminate compile errors. Otherwise I am not
seeing any problem
with the interval scope.
