As a general rule, I don't use them at all, but I was just interested to find a solution that didn't involve having to keep track of all intervals in use. When working in Director, I've in the past wrapped timeout objects (the Lingo equivalent of intervals) in my own objects to improve the functionality, and that's probably what I'd do in Flash too if I were to use them.
