[Flashcoders] Timer object created twice in class

[Mattheis, Erik (MIN - WSW)]

Here's a snippit and a timeline version of it - when I run it on the timeline, 
it works as expected, but when I run it within my class it acts as though there 
are two instances of the _timer object.

On the timeline, it works as expected, tracing,

1 1
True

But when I have it inside my class, it traces,

1 0
false
1 1
True

What am I not seeing or understanding here? Thanks..

//********  Version on timeline:

var _timer:Timer;

function init() {
 _timer = new Timer(250, 0);
 _timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, checkPlaying);
 _timer.start();
}

function checkPlaying(e:TimerEvent) : void {
 if (1 == 1) {
  e.target.stop();
  trace(e.target.currentCount, _timer.currentCount);
  trace(e.target == _timer);
 }
}

init();

//******** Version in class:

public function Tracker(video) {
 _video = video;
}

public function init() {
 _timer = new Timer(250, 0);
 _timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, checkPlaying);
 _timer.start();
}

function checkPlaying(e:TimerEvent) : void
 if (1 == 1) {
  e.target.stop();
  trace(e.target.currentCount, _timer.currentCount);
  trace(e.target == _timer);
 }
}

I'm instantiating it from another class like this:

if (_tracker == null) {
 _tracker = new Tracker(_videoScreen);
}
_tracker.init();
