I don’t know whether it’s how getTimer work…

My problem is that I set a getTimer() on enter frame, when the timer passed certain seconds it would add some buttons and start some tweening. It works fine when I pressed Alt+Enter. However, when i try to simulate download, those buttons are not displayed on the stage and those tweening are not started. I simutale download and trace the getTimer(), and the timer just did not start counting from 0.

How should I fix this? thanks
