so I am not new to flash but I have been trying to learn as3 and sometimes I feel  
like Im getting somewhere with it, and other times, like I dont have a clue. So,  
I have a banner with 4 frames each frame containing clips, and this script to push the frames around with event listeners. heres the problem. I cant get the timer to stop, and relooping to frame 3.

this is what ive tried.  
I have put stopTimer(); on each frame at a time,  
and it does not stop the timer from firing off.  
so I know I need to remove the listener, which I  
have put in the functions and on each frame, and  
it does not remove it. im stuck! i was also thinking  
an onEnterFrame event to remove the listener, is  
that correct? I feel like I can learn individual pieces  
but not how to structure in AS3,

import flash.utils._;  
import caurina.transitions._;

stop();

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(15000);  
myTimer.addEventListener(“timer”, timedFunction);  
myTimer.start();

function timedFunction(myTimer:TimerEvent):void  
{  
gotoAndStop(3);  
trace(“Timer fired”);  
this.stop();  
}

function playVideo(over1:MouseEvent):void  
{  
gotoAndStop(2);  
}  
over1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL\_OVER, playVideo);

function stopVideo(over1:MouseEvent):void  
{  
gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
over1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL\_OUT, stopVideo);

//trace(myTimer);
