Gotcha with private access

[Harbs]

I just spent a long time tracking down a bug:

I needed to delay execution of a private method called “doPackage()”. Because 
of “this” weirdness, I used “that” as a reference:
setTimeout(function():*{that.doPackage()},50);

And declared this as that:
var that:* = this;

The problem is that “doPackage” is now a fully qualified so doPackage is not 
defined.
The solution is to declare the type of that like so:
var that:PackagePanel = this;

I’m not sure if there’s a way to resolve this better.
