Question

i need to work with setTimeout function but that function does not work.
First of all,

  Player.prototype.playByUrl = function (url) {
        this.object.data = url;
        return this.play();
    }

Above code is my function and i call it

window.onload = function () {
        player = new Player('playerObject');
        setTimeout(player.playByUrl($mp4Link),3000);
    }

However, in above code, setTimeout does not work why ?

Answer 1

setTimeout needs a function:

setTimeout(function(){player.playByUrl($mp4Link)},3000);

The way you were doing it was that it was executing player.playByUrl($mp4Link) immediately on the start of the script.
