I wanted to remove an ENTER_FRAME object and stopping an TimerEvent when I click on a button, and rerun ENTER_FRAME and TimerEvent when I click on another button. I've tried removeAddEventListener and stop() for the time, but I won't work. Any idea whats the problem here?

//Adding an event listener to the timer object
countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,updateTime);

//countdownTimer.start();

decreasTimerFunction();
