Answer 1

I am executing a function where I need access to the outside object properties. So, the closure in Guffa solution doesn't work for me. I found a variation of nicosantangelo solution by simply wrapping the setTimeout in an if statement so it doesn't run forever.

    var i = 0;
    function test(){

        rootObj.arrayOfObj[i].someFunction();
        i++;
        if( i < rootObj.arrayOfObj.length ){
            setTimeout(test, 50 ); //50ms delay
        }

    }
    test();
