[Action Script] How can I add this to an on/onClipEvent event handler? May,2012

:confused:

I'm trying to implement a simple countdown timer so that when 3 minutes is up, the paddle and the pong block stop moving. At the moment, my coding is like this:

ActionScript Code: //Process this code on each frameonClipEvent(enterFrame){    //if the UP key is pressed, move the left paddle up    if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){        this._y-=5;    }    //if the DOWN key is pressed, move the left paddle down    if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){        this._y+=5;    }    //if the paddle moves below the stage area, move it back to the bottom of the stage    if((this._y+this._height)>Stage.height){        this._y=Stage.height-this._height;    }    //if the paddle moves above the stage area, move it back to the top of the stage    if(this._y<0){        this._y=0;    }    //Check if the paddle hits the pong block    if(this.hitTest(_root.pongblock)){        //set the pong block to move in the opposite direction        _root.pongblock.xspeed*=(-1);        //move the pong block to the edge of the paddle        _root.pongblock._x=this._x+this._width;    }}_root.leftpaddle.onEnterFrame=function(){var timeLeft:Number = new Number(180);var myClockID:Number = setInterval(clock, 1000);function clock(){    timeLeft = timeLeft -= 1;    _root.timeLeft_box.text = timeLeft.toString();    if (timeLeft <= 0)    {        clearInterval(myClockID);              speed = 0;        _root.leftpaddle.stop();        _root.pongblock.stop();    }}}
However, I get told that the statement on line 27 (_root.leftpaddle.onEnterFrame=function()):confuse d: must appear within on/onClipEvent handler, but I'm not sure how to implement that so that the countdown timer works. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
