Is there a way to destroy an timer on its parent removal from stage?

Hi,

I'm having an issue where I am placing a timer inside of a MovieClip instance which is dynamically placed on stage. When I remove the MovieClip from the stage, the timer keeps on running.  It is sometimes a bit complicated to be able to stop all the timers inside of this MovieClip so I was wondering if there was a way to either destroy the MovieClip instance and thus destroy the timers within it? or how could I go about making sure the timers stop when their parent Object is not on stage.

Thanks for the help.

you should explicity stop your timers.  even if your movieclip is gc'd that the timer will probably not stop.  i may test that later today if i get time.

addendum:  the timer doesn't stop even when the movieclip is gc'd.
