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 );
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
Hi, I'm trying to set a timer to trigger a event after 20 seconds or
less, but so far i have this code, but with no results

I don't know how could I got into but some help might be needed
this is the code: is inside the first frame of a movie clip and the 4

var now = getTimer();
var seconds:Number = now/1000;
var later:Number = seconds+20;
