ViewController.Type does not have a member named

by

The initial value of a property (in your case: timer) cannot depend on another property of the class (in your case: interval).

Therefore you have to move the assigment timer = NSTimer(interval, ...) into a method of the
class, e.g. into viewDidLoad. As a consequence, timer has to be defined as an
optional or implicitly unwrapped optional.

Note also that Selector(...) takes a literal string as argument, not the method itself.

So this should work:

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var interval : NSTimeInterval = 1.0
    var timer : NSTimer!

    func timerRedraw() {

    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        timer = NSTimer(timeInterval: interval, target: self, selector: Selector("timerRedraw"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

        // ...
    }

    // Other methods ...
}
