setInterval function and counter var not clearing!

i’m reusing a function as a timer with setInterval. it works the first time around but then for some reason the counter var gets stuck at 10 (the delay var = 10) and won’t reset and start counting up from zero again…

code:

_global.count=0;

startTimer1=function(){
	trace("COUNT: "+count);
	trace("timer!");
	if (count==delay){
		_global.count=0;
		trace("switch!");
		if(disSet==1){
			trace("switchin to 2nd set");
			clearInterval(sInt1);
			_global.count=0;
			firstSetOut();
			
		}
		if(disSet==2){
			trace("switchin to 1st set");
			clearInterval(sInt1);
			_global.count=0;
			secondSetOut();
		_global.count=0;
		}
	}else{
		count++;
	}
	
}
