Are you building this on the timeline?
Or are you doing it in a class file (separate .as file)?
The beauty of ActionScript 3.0 is that its errors are very
descriptive.
""1013: The private attribute may be used only on class property
definitions.""
Means exactly that. You can only use "private function" if you are
writing the code in a separate .as file.
So by that error I assume you writing this on the timeline.
The first BIG error (a simple mistake thought) is that you are not
declaring a "VAR"iable
YOUR CODE:
myTimer = new Timer(1000, 1);
SHOULD BE
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1);
Here are two example scripts to help clear things up.
To call the first one - on your document properties in FlashCS3
Where it says
class[ ]
type in hello.as and hit ctrl+enter
You should see the output "Hello"
//This is a "class" file - it sits outside of the timeline in a
separate file
//hello.as
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class GreetingApp extends MovieClip{
public function GreetingApp () {
trace("Hello");
}
}
}
Same thing here except call "Timer" instead of "hello"
(essentially its the name of the .as file minus the ".as")
//More specific to your issue
//Timer.as
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
public class ShortTimer extends Sprite
{
public function ShortTimer()
{
// creates a new five-second Timer
var minuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 5);
// designates listeners for the interval and completion
events
minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick);
minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,
onTimerComplete);
// starts the timer ticking
minuteTimer.start();
}
public function onTick(event:TimerEvent):void
{
// displays the tick count so far
// The target of this event is the Timer instance itself.
trace("tick " + event.target.currentCount);
}
public function onTimerComplete(event:TimerEvent):void
{
trace("Time's Up!");
}
}
}
