@Dan – I thought it was a scope issue, but I just couldn’t figure out how to sidestep that.

Thanks! That seems to have nailed the issue I was having.

You, sir, are awesome and deserve a piece of cake.

I, sadly, don’t have any cake to give you.

This scope of the callback function changes, so when you say “this.greet” inside the callback function, it thinks “this” is the callback function, not the original object.

One really easy way to get around that:
var myObj = this; if(this.count < 2) { $('body').animate({"opacity":1}, 1000, function(){myObj.greet();}); }

That should take care of it.
