Stop timer inside TimerEvent

Hey guys! basic question here…
I am stopping a testTimer variable inside a timer handler… (simple code, as an example)
Works like a charm, but…I would like testTimer.stop(); to stop the handler before trace(“LOOPINGG”); is processed…
Any ideas?
Here’s the simple code:


var testTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

testTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTestTimer);
testTimer.start();

function onTestTimer(event:TimerEvent)
{
    trace("LOOPING");
    testTimer.stop(); //stops the timer, but trace("LOOPINGG") is still traced...
    trace("LOOPINGG"); //I don't want this to be traced, right now...
}
