I know it’s a rather stupid problem, but i can’t seem to get my function to work, i have the following code, just an abstract peace of code, works beautifully:

```auto
 
PlaatsDAO.getInstance().getItems(cb_plaatsenBezet, _global.ticketArr[0], this);

```

But i want this executed every 2 seconds, so i replaced it with:

```auto
checkSeats = function () {
PlaatsDAO.getInstance().getItems(cb_plaatsenBezet, _global.ticketArr[0], this);};
setInterval(checkSeats, 2000);

```

Now, this didn’t work, thinking that it was a scope problem, i replace my code with the following:

```auto
checkSeats = function () {
PlaatsDAO.getInstance().getItems(this._parent.cb_plaatsenBezet, _global.ticketArr[0], this._parent);
setInterval(checkSeats, 2000);

```

**Anyone have an idea as to what i’m doing wrong? thx**
