I am trying to get a timer to work for this game. I get an error at line 36: The private attribute may be used only on class property definitions.

Here is the last part of the hw assignment for you to compare: http://www.lwebdesigns.net/hw1.docx

This is the code I have for my MainTimer

package {

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;


public class MainTimer extends MovieClip {
  // Init vars for class
  private var currentMin:int;
  private var currentSec:int;
  // create a one second timer from Flash's Timer class
  private var oneSecTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,1);

  public var timerHasStopped:Boolean = false;

  public function MainTimer() {
    // constructor code
    trace("Main timer is here");
    currentMin = 2;
    currentSec = 5;

    minBox.text = String(currentMin);
    if(currentSec < 10){
        secBox.text = "0" + String(currentSec); //concatenate with a leading zero
       }else{
         secBox.text = String(currentSec);
       }//if end
       oneSecTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimerComplete);
       oneSecTimer.start();

  } // ends onTimerComplete

} //public function maintimer end
    private function onTimerComplete(event:TimerEvent):void{

    currentSec = currentSec - 1;

    if (currentSec < 0){
      currentSec = 59;
      currentMin -= 1;
    } //end if
    if (currentMin < 0){
      currentMin = 0;
      currentSec = 0;
      timerHasStopped = true;
    }else{
      oneSecTimer.start();
    } //end else

    //update our display
    minBox.text = String(currentMin);
    secBox.text = String(currentSec);
    //Adjust display for seconds less than 10
    if (currentSec < 10){
        secBox.text = "0" + String(currentSec);
    } // end if
  }// end onTimerComplete

} //public end } //package end
