TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE within case

Commenta 14th November , 2009
I stumbled upon a problem while converting a part of my game’s code from else if to switch case.

I use the following code to start a power-up:

ActionScript Code:


case "high":
                {
                    trace ("powerup: starting speedup");
                    Main.reqjecSpeedBuffer = Main.reqjecSpeed;
                    Main.reqjecSpeed *= 2;
                   
                    msPerUpdate = int( 1000 / frameRate );
                    totalUpdates = int( powerupDuration * 1000 / msPerUpdate );
               
                    timer = new Timer( msPerUpdate, totalUpdates );
                    timer.addEventListener( TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, unhigh );
                   
                    timer.start();
                    break;
                   
                } // case

I use the following code to terminate the power-up:

ActionScript Code:


private static function unhigh( event:TimerEvent = null ): void
        {
            trace ("powerup: speedup ended");
            Main.reqjecSpeed = Main.reqjecSpeedBuffer;
           
            cleanup();
        }

For some reason the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE is never triggered. I used to work when I was using if else instead of switch case. Any idea what is causing this?
