Incremental Game counter help

[iiiaaa123]

Heya, new to working in adobe animate, and i'm trying to, as the title says, make an incremental game with Animate. I'm new and don't know much about coding, so I was asking how to make it so when i push my button (let's say Button1), it starts adding 1 to a points counter infinitely while also removing the button from the scene? i'm in HTML5 Canvas if it helps. thanks in advance!

this.cnt=0;

this.yourcountertextfield.text=this.cnt;

this.btn.addEventListener("click", counterF.bind(this));

function counterF(){

this.cnt++;
this.yourcountertextfield.text=this.cnt

}

Sorry for the late answer, but its not quite what i'm looking for. From what I understand, this would simply add 1 to the cnt variable when btn is clicked, but I need it to start adding 1 to that variable every second.

then use a timer (eg, setInterval).
