removing timer is not working

How do I correctly remove/stop a timer in actionscript?

I do it like in this piece of code but timer has been set to fire frame1SoundTimerHandler in 200 seconds later :

            playingScreenFramesObj.myTimer2.stop(); 
            playingScreenFramesObj.myTimer2.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, frame1SoundTimerHandler);
            playingScreenFramesObj.myTimer2 = null;

It seems that despite stopping/removing the timer with the code above the handler will run in 200 seconds.

Where is the mistake I make?

That code should work. Are you positive you are calling stop on the correct timer? For example, could you accidentally be using timer1 and stopping timer2?

You should only have to call timer.stop(). As a failsafe you could always check timer.running from inside the event handler.
