Hi guys,

Am I doing this properly:

```auto

var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(100,10);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,timerComplete);
myTimer.start();
 
public function timerComplete(event:TimerEvent) : void {
 // clean up the listener
 event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,timerComplete);
}

```

Should I be using currentTarget like that ?

Thanks.
