How do I remove a timer object like in this code.

var jumpTimer:Timer = new Timer(8000, 1);  
jumpTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, jump);  
function jump(event:TimerEvent):void  
{  
Tweener.addTween(step1, {alpha:0,time:0.5,transition:“easeInOutSine”});  
step1.lines.sublines.stop();  
nextFrame();  
}  
jumpTimer.start();

I tried jumpTimer.stop(); on a function withing a button but it keeps executing.  
I traced jumpTimer and I get [object Timer].

Is there a remove command for timer?
