Using SC.Timer to blink cursor

Question

Hi I'm trying to have a cursor blink every 2.5 seconds but I'm not sure how tot use the SC.Timer object....The method I should be calling is _drawInsertionPoint(rect,context) every 2.5 seconds....

I found this

var timer = SC.Timer.schedule({
target: this
action: '_drawInsertionPoint(rec,context)',
interval: 100,
repeats: YES,
until: Time.now() + 1000
}) ;

But I dont know how to pass in the parameters in action... it won't work

any insight to this would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

You need to pass an anonymous function as the action parameter, like this:

var timer = SC.Timer.schedule({
    target: this
    action: function() { _drawInsertionPoint(rec,context); },
    interval: 100,
    repeats: YES,
    until: Time.now() + 1000
});
