Don't know if this helps you but I'll mention it for the sake of knowledge.
You could also use:
_global.setTimeout(scope, function_str, milliseconds)
Works like setInterval and it will return an ID but it will only run
once then kill itself.

AFAIK, yes.
That is, will this always work to ensure you only ever have one
interval running at a time?
Again, AFAIK, yes.. but at the same time it limits your to
only ever have one interval, no matter where.
For instance you won't be able to have 2 instances of the
same class run an interval at the same time, which might not
be what you're after.
If you want to manage intervals better than the built in way
(which is non-existant), google for setInterval manager and
I'm sure something useful will turn up.
Here's one I just found:

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.
