[CS3] Timer Not Counting Up

[GreeNeons]

I'm trying to make a timer for a puzzle I made and I can't get it to count at all. I just get "0:0:0". Here's my code:

function oneUp() {
	seconds++;
	trace("interval called");
}


setInterval(oneUp,1000);


stop();

var seconds = 0;
var minutes = 0;
var hours = 0;

timeDisplay = hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds;

if (seconds=60) {
	seconds = 0;
	minutes++;
}
if (minutes=60) {
	minutes = 0;
	hours++;
}
if (seconds<10) {
	seconds = "0"+seconds;
}
if (minutes<10) {
	minutes = "0"+minutes;
}
if (hours<10) {
	hours = "0"+hours;
}

I also uploaded an example of what I got. Thanks in advance for any help.

Working code, notice all the changes I made to make this property work as a timer, especially the logic of the interval function.

stop();
var timeInt = setInterval(updateTime,1000);
var seconds = 0;
var minutes = 0;
var hours = 0;

timeDisplay.text = "00:00:00";

function updateTime() {
    seconds++;
    if (seconds==60) {
        seconds = 0;
        minutes++;
    }
    if (minutes==60) {
        minutes = 0;
        hours++;
    }
    
    secStr = seconds;
    minStr = minutes;
    hourStr = hours;
    
    if (seconds<10) secStr = String("0"+seconds);
    if (minutes<10) minStr = String("0"+minutes);
    if (hours<10) hourStr = String("0"+hours);
    
    timeDisplay.text = hourStr+":"+minStr+":"+secStr;
}

That doesn't seem to be working. All it does is show "00:00:00" and doesn't go up.

I noticed you have the var field filled in your text properties, never put anything in there - remove it and it should work.

That did it! Thanks!

Forgive the double post, but how can I stop the timer from out side of the movie clip in the main time line? I tried:

pCounter.clearInterval(timeInt);
pCounter.clearInterval(updateTime);

But that didn't work.
