Question

I have a couple timers in a Flash application I’m building. They worked fine initially, but after building the application and adding more code to it, I’m suddenly getting these weird compiler errors. When I try to compile, I get ‘error 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.’ on the line of the Timer declaration, which looks like this:

var newTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000, 1);

I’ve tried declaring without arguments and adding them to the according properties like this:

var newTimer:Timer = new Timer();
newTimer.delay = 5000;
newTimer.repeatCount = 1;

When I do this I get ‘error 1120: Access of undefined property newTimer.’ on both of the delay and repeatCount lines. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Answer 1

Timer accepts two arguments so that “expecting 0” error is suspicious. Are you by chance exporting another MovieClip or object with a class name of “Timer”?
