Undefined property Timer ??

This is the code (simple):

var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.Timer, onTimer);
timer.start();

function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
r1.filters = sampleFilters; }


This is the error:

"access of possibly undefined property Timer through a reference with statis type"

And I do did import flash.events.TimerEvent; --- am I supposed to import something else? Is this the problem?

TIA

It should be TimerEvent.TIMER

Of course you must import the Timer class itself.

import flash.utils.Timer;

If it's just code in the timeline of the .fla, you don't need to import the Timer class, it's already there.

Have you tried it? If not it's only one line of code. I think you need to import it.

Of course I've tried it.

Weird.

So, I set it up like this:

import flash.events.TimerEvent.TIMER; (also tried this without the all caps for "Timer"
import flash.utils.Timer;

and I'm getting this error:

1172: Definition flash.events.TimerEvent:TIMER could not be found.

Then for the second line of the following code ...

var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.Timer, onTimer);
timer.start();

I'm getting this error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property Timer through a reference with static type Class.

PS - I'm working on the timeline.

No i mean like this:

Code:

---

var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
timer.start();

function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
        r1.filters = sampleFilters;
}

---

No need to import anything, that's all you need.

Ahhh! thanks, man. Simple solution and it's working. I appreciate your help.

No problem.
