Deleting functions

Hey everyone. I have a question regarding creating a master fuction that when called deletes a whole bunch of other functions.

To better visualize what I’m explaining below, view this URL: http://www.krisgosser.com/fast_facts.swf | It’ll be huge in a browser since its just a swf file.

To explain a little further:

I downloaded the trial version of the Flash Timer component from FlashLoaded. I needed something that counts down to do a kind of a rotating banner. The best example on the web is ESPN’s rotating headline thing halfway down the page. Notice how it switches, yet once something is clicked, it stops rotating?

So, with that said, the best and quickest way my novice ActionSript knowledge could muster is to have multiple timers that all count down at different times. Then, once a timer is counted down, it moves the the master movieclip left.

Here’s the stinker: I can’t make it stop rotating once one clicks on a button.

I tried something like this:


function deleteTimers () {
   delete.timer1();
   etc...
}

Then once a button is clicked, this code is called:


on(release) {
   deleteTimers();
}

And it doesn’t work.

Below is the link to the .fla if anyone wants to look at it.

Thanks, and any help would be greatly appreciated. This is due by the end of the work day tomorrow (Tuesday). Oops, lol!
