How to access to class property?

I have this code:

function myClass() {

    this.tabs = new Array();

    myClass.prototype.focus_tab = function animateTab(nr){
        for(i=0;i<this.tabs.length;i++){
            $('#' + i + '-image').stop().animate(
                { left: '100px' },
                100 , function(){
                    this.tabs[i].step = 1;
                }
            );
        }
}

but function at the end of the animation does not recognize "this.tabs". How to do it well?

It's in a a different scope, try:

function myClass() {
  this.tabs = new Array();

  myClass.prototype.focus_tab = function animateTab(nr){
     for(i=0;i<this.tabs.length;i++){
         var mytab = this.tabs[i];
         $('#' + i + '-image').stop().animate({ left: '100px' }, 100 , function(){
             mytab.step = 1;
         }
      );
  }
}

There are some other issues as well, but the comments on the question already adress some of them!

This is another example of the classic scoping issue. You only have one i variable, shared for all your callbacks. You need to make a local i for each callback. Changing you callback from:

function(){
    this.tabs[i].step = 1;
}

To:

(function(i){
    return function(){
        this.tabs[i].step = 1;
    }
})(i)
