Subclassing worked for me:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var timer:MyTimer;
public function init():void
{
timer = new MyTimer(1000);
timer.bar = "foobar";
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
handler);
timer.start();
}
public function handler(event:Event):void
{
trace(MyTimer(event.target).bar);
}
]]>
MyTimer.as:
package
{
import flash.utils.Timer;
public class MyTimer extends Timer
{
private var foo:String = "foo";
public var bar:String = "bar"
public function MyTimer(delay:Number,
repeatCount:int = 0)
{
super(delay, repeatCount);
}
}
}

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] passing variables to Timer handler routine
Here was the only workaround...
public static function doSomething(param:Number=0):void {
var t:Timer = new Timer( 300, 1 );
//I can't pass arguments/parameters to my timer method???
var f:Function = function():void{
callTheRealFunc( param);
}
t.addEventListener( TimerEvent.TIMER, f );
t.start();
}

You could also subclass Timer and store any additional data you want on
MyTimer.
