I have a timer that counts down from 60 to 0, i simply want this to be shown on the stage, here is my code


//timer length in seconds
var timerLength:Number = 60;

//new timer, 1000ms = 1 sec
var t:Timer = new Timer(1000, timerLength);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, checkTime);

//start timer
t.start();

function checkTime (e:TimerEvent):void
{
    trace(--timerLength);
        if(timerLength == 0)
        {
        trace("gotoAndStop(5)");
        removeChild(weap);
        
        var lose:MovieClip = new Lose();
        lose.x = 280;
        lose.y = 177;
        addChild(lose);
    
        timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,runGame);
        this.gotoAndPlay(5);
        }
}
