Problems with Timer, counts 60000 as one minute but need it to be 60

Question

Hello All.
I have an application that i have working although i need to change it slightly, the way that it uses a number to be exact,
It includes a countdown HSlider and timer, and is used as an interview kinda thing.  so the user only gets a small period of pre determined time to make their answer.  It all works fine but i need to change one part of it.
At the moment the timer works if i feed in the number 60000 as the maximum value,  this equals one minute, but i need to be able to enter 60 instead of 60000.  I need to use seconds rather than miliseconds.
Here is my code.
            protected function addtoArray():void {   
                if(userArray.getItemAt(0).q1 != '') questionArray.addItem({question:userArray.getItemAt(0).q1, time:'60000', tt:'2'});
                if(userArray.getItemAt(0).q2 != '') questionArray.addItem({question:userArray.getItemAt(0).q2, time:'60000', tt:'3'});
                if(userArray.getItemAt(0).q3 != '') questionArray.addItem({question:userArray.getItemAt(0).q3, time:'30000', tt:'4'});
                if(userArray.getItemAt(0).q4 != '') questionArray.addItem({question:userArray.getItemAt(0).q4, time:'60000', tt:'2'});
            private function init():void {
                t = new Timer(1000);
                t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTimer);
                startInterview();
            private function updateTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
                var d:Date = new Date(getTimer() - baseTimer);
                counter.text = "Time Remaining - " + dateFormatter.format(d);
                timerCount = getTimer() -baseTimer;
                TimerSlider.value = timerCount;
                if (skip == true)
                    stopTimer();
                    startInterview();
                    skip = false;
                else if (timerCount >= totaltime)
                    stopTimer();
                    startInterview();
            private function startInterview():void {
                if(i==0)
                    questionArray.addItem({question:"End"});
                timeLabel.text = questionArray.getItemAt(i).time;
                totaltime = parseInt(timeLabel.text);
                QuestionText.text = questionArray.getItemAt(i).question;
                ThinkTime = questionArray.getItemAt(i).tt;
                if (QuestionText.text=="End")
                    QuestionText.text = "Thanks, thats the end";
                else
                    createComplete();
                    var QcountVar:int = questionArray.length -1;
                    var Qpos:int = i+1;
                    hp.status ="Question: " + Qpos.toString() + " / " + QcountVar.toString();
                    i = i + 1;
The init function is called by a button click
If anyone could help me change it so it runs in seconds rather than miliseconds that would be great !
Thanks in advance

Multiply the number you type in by 1,000
