Changing Timer intervals

Hello,
I’d like to change a timer interval, but I dunno how to do it,
In my code i first initialize the timer with a selected interval with :


gameTimer=new Timer(interval,0);
 gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);
 gameTimer.start();

then, i need afterwards to change the interval, so I try to stop the timer, remove the listener


gameTimer.stop();
gameTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);

and when I init again the timer with the same code:


gameTimer=new Timer(interval,0);
 gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);
 gameTimer.start();

it’s like if i had 2 timers, and when i stop the timer, it continues, I guess it’s because of the new object that i create, but i can’t found a method to change the interval of the existing timer…
