You wrote
private function initTimer():void {
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(30000);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateData);
myTimer.start();
}
the updateData function can then be
private function updateData( event : TimerEvent ) : void {
( event.target as Timer ).stop();
// Continue updating the data
}
Written off the top of my head, so my not compile, etc...

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: sailorsea21 - How to stop a timer that is in a
private function?
Is the reference global?
My reference "myTimer" cannot be access from another function...
Can you clarify? Thanks.
