This is a cheeky method I used to retrieve relevent information about a Timer Event from an Array by using a Dictionary object to reference itself.

var timerHolder = new Dictionary();  
timerFunction():void  
{  
for(var i in someArray)  
{  
timerHolder\* = new Object();  
timerHolder\* = new Timer(1000, 1);

```
timerHolder[timerHolder*] = i;
timerHolder*.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, someFunction);
timerHolder*.start();

```

};  
};  
function someFunction(event:TimerEvent):void  
{  
var isThisYourCard = someArray[timerHolder[event.currentTarget]];  
};
