It should end with an "end" statement just for consistency. It will
work without an end statement, buut it is a good idea to have one.
Anything written after the final "end" of a handler is considered a
comment. So, a beginSprite handler can end: a) with nothing, b) with
an "end" statement, or c) with an "end beginSprite" statement.

Don't use the timer for something like this - because there is only
one of this kind of timer available. If you are doing timing
somewhere else in your program, then there might be an interaction.
Instead, set up your own timing with either using either ticks or
milliseconds, e.g,
property pEndTicks
on beginSprite me
pEndTicks = the ticks + (2*60) -- two seconds from now
end
on endSprite me
if the ticks < pEndTicks then
go to the frame
end if
end
