// Let’s create TIMER OBJECTS
// Let’s add a COUNTER !

var myTimer = new Timer(1000,15);

// One SECOND is made of 1000 MILISECONDS
// So the timer runs for 1 SECOND
// This will run 15 times for one second each.

// Lets create EVENT HANDLERS

myTimer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, TickTack);
myTimer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerFinished);
// recognized words become BLUE
// TickTack is the name of a function we created. Can be any name.
// The function has to exist otherwise returns an error

function TickTack (e:TimerEvent):void // Our function is returning NO VALUE… void.

{

}

function timerFinished(e:TimerEvent):void {
