Time is never exact because frame rate is independent from time. Just check
if it's greater or equal to the time you desired.
var now = getTimer();
var waitSeconds = 3;
var later:Number = now + ( waitSeconds * 1000 );
this.onEnterFrame= function ()
{
var now = getTimer();
if( now >= later)
{
trace( "now" );
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
else
{
var countdown = ( later - now );
trace( "wait for it : " + countdown );
}
}
