ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property addEvent not found on flash.utils.Timer and there is no default value.

ActionScript 3 Error #1069 Description:
AS3 error 1069 appears when you have misspelled a property or function and have not assigned a value to it. If you have properly typed the Object to begin with you will get AS3 Error 1061. See the examples below. AS3 error 1069 is actually pretty nice to work with because it tells you exactly which method/property didn’t work and it tells you which object it didn’t work on.

Flash / Flex Error 1069 Fix:
Find the object listed in the error and then check the spelling after the dot.

Bad Code 1:

var t = new Timer(1000, 60);
t.addEvent(TimerEvent.TIMER, Tick);

Good Code 1:

var t = new Timer(1000, 60);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, Tick);

This should help you resolve Flex / Flash Error #1069

Thanks and as always Happy Flashing

Flash / Flex Error 1061 – You will get AS3 Error 1069 instead of 1061 if you don’t properly type your object before referencing a property on it. For example var t:Timer = new Timer(1000, 60);
t.addEvent(TimerEvent.TIMER, Tick); will give error 1061 but var t = new Timer(1000, 60);
t.addEvent(TimerEvent.TIMER, Tick); will give Error 1069.
Flash / Flex Error 1119
Flash / Flex Error 1056 – This is the error you will get if you try and call a method with a misspelled name in the same way as calling a property with a misspelled name.
