I get text.substr is not a function

text.substr is not a function

when I use this code.

    this.timerText2 = this.add.bitmapText(this.game.width*0.96, this.game.height*0.72, 'myFont', this.timer2, 60);

Phaser 2.4.6. Why do I get this? I think I am doing everything right here when adding a bitmap text. thanks

Basically whatever this.timer2 is, it's not a string.
