js: accessing scope of parent class

Question

I have a jquery class within a normal class in javascript. Is it possible to access variables in the scope of the parent class from a callback function in the jquery class?

Sorry m8. You have to nest the reference down into the objects like so:

var simpleClass = function () {
    var _root = this;
    this.status = "pending";
    this.target = jqueryObject;
    this.updateStatus = function() {
        this.root = _root;
        _root.target.fadeOut("fast",function () {
           this.status = "complete"; //this needs to update the parent class 
        });
    };
};

notice the var _root
