How do I call a function delayed AND pass an object along?

Use an enclosure.  Basically, you will pass to setTimeout a function
which calls the function you need with the arguments you want.
passedObject = 'whatever variable I need to pass';
setTimeout(function() { myFunction(passedObject); }, 1000);
function myFunction(recievedObject) {
  //Do whatever
}
