Timer Method and if statements?

I am interested in have a dynamic text field display three quotes at different intervals.

I thought I could use the Timer to trigger these quotes by loading them into the dynamic TextField.

However, I cannot seem to get it going.

I try to attach a number from the timer but that throws an error /1176: Comparison between a value with static type flash.utils:Timer and a possibly unrelated type int.�

First is this a good way to approach it?

If so this is my current code:

import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

var timer:Timer=new Timer(1000,0);

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, goQuotes);

timer.start();

function goQuotes(e:TimerEvent):void {

    var reqA:URLRequest=new URLRequest("suzukiRules/ruleA.txt");

    var loaderA:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    loaderA.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoadedB);

    loaderA.load(reqA);

    function textLoadedB(event:Event):void {

            function textLoadedC(event:Event):void {
