When I copy and paste this onto the frame, I get these two errors:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 4: Syntax error.
_root.timer–; //Add another hyphon onto the end

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 5: ‘)’ or ‘,’ expected
}, 1000);

I called the textbox “timer” and I’m using MX Professional 2004
