AS3 Timer to change frames not working correctly. PLS help

Question

HI I am having a big of trouble with this code to change frames on my timeline. I thought my code below would work fine but its not. For some reason it will go to frames 1-4 (4 is the last frame) then it will go back to 1 again just fine as its supposed to... but then will jump to 3 then back to 1... all random instead of staying in sync.  I have attached both my as2 version and my as3 version. My as 2 is working perfectly. I can define the amount of time a frame will pause for on each frame. ... the as3 though I am having no luck. Any help or advice would be appretiated! Thank you
here is my as 3 code;
stop();
var frameTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
frameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, frameChange);
function frameChange(e:TimerEvent):void
    if(currentFrame == totalFrames)
        gotoAndStop(1);
    else
        nextFrame();
frameTimer.start();
here is my as 2 code;
stop();
function GotoFrame ()
    StopTimer ()
    var frame:Number = _root._currentframe;
    var total:Number = _root._totalframes;
    var Next:Number = (frame % total) + 1;
    _root.gotoAndStop (Next);
function StartTimer (Time)
    _root.myTimer = setTimeout (GotoFrame, Time);
    _root.stop ();
function StopTimer ()
    clearTimeout (_root.myTimer);
    delete _root.myTimer;
StartTimer (1000);

Answer 1

Oh I didn't think about that! ... I suppose it is ok to overlook things like this while im still learning
Thanks for that answer. Perfect! .. that was driving me crazy.
any chance you could help me solve the next task of defining the amount of time each frame will pause on each frame. In my action scrip 2 code I could put timerFunctioName(5000); and it would pause only that frame for that amount of time and I was able to put different time pauses on each frame in this way.
