Problems calling a function from another function

Question

Hello all.
I am trying to create a function that will loop a few other function.
Basically the main function is this
                    private function publish(event:MouseEvent):void
                        if (doPublish.label == 'Publish')
                            // create a new NetStream object for video publishing
                            nsPublish = new NetStream(nc);
                            nsPublish.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, nsPublishOnStatus);
                            // set the buffer time to zero since it is chat
                            nsPublish.bufferTime = 0;
                            // publish the stream by name
                            nsPublish.publish(publishName.text);
                            // add custom metadata to the stream
                            var metaData:Object = new Object();
                            metaData["description"] = "Chat using VideoChat example."
                            nsPublish.send("@setDataFrame", "onMetaData", metaData);
                            // attach the camera and microphone to the server
                            nsPublish.attachCamera(camera);
                            nsPublish.attachAudio(microphone);
                            doPublish.label = 'Stop';
                        else
                            // here we are shutting down the connection to the server
                            nsPublish.attachCamera(null);
                            nsPublish.attachAudio(null);
                            nsPublish.publish("null");
                            nsPublish.close();
                            doPublish.label = 'Publish';
I am then trying to call that function like this
            protected function startloop():void {
                publish(event);
But i get the error Access of undefined property event.
Any ideas on how i can call this function ?  I need to call it as part of a loop against a timer..
Thanks in advance

Need more info. Are you using a ViewStack or other navigator container, and trying to access a view that has not been displayed yet, due to deferred instantiation?
