Out of scope issue

Hi All

I am developing an application to display different time zones. Class works fine only once, later it fails to update the movie with dials of clock. I not sure what could be the issue, I am using delegates as methods weren’t called previously.



import mx.utils.Delegate;
//
class ClockEngine {
    var sec:Date;
    var ts:Number;
    var clock_mc:MovieClip;
    // 
    function ClockEngine (mc:MovieClip, timeofset) {
        clock_mc = mc;
        ts = timeofset;
        var localTime:Date = new Date ();
        sec = new Date ();
        animate();
    }
    function animate()
    {
        setInterval(Delegate.create (this, init), 1000);
    }
    public function init ():Void {
        ///
        
        var hours:Number = (Math.round (ts)*60)/60;
        var minutes:Number = Math.abs (Math.round (ts)-ts)*100;
        var seconds:Number = sec.getSeconds ();
        hours += sec.getUTCHours ();
        minutes += sec.getUTCMinutes ();
        trace (ts+"   "+hours+"    "+minutes+"    "+seconds);
        trace("---------------------------------------------");
        ///
        clock_mc.secondHand_mc._rotation = seconds*6;
        clock_mc.minuteHand_mc._rotation = minutes*6;
        clock_mc.hourHand_mc._rotation = (hours)*30+(Math.round ((minutes*6)/12));
        clock_mc.hourHand_mc.showTime_txt.text= "hello";
    }
}

I noticed in the trace seconds value doesn’t seem to change, neither does minutes. Values in red are seconds.
