try to this:

a.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, starts);
function starts(e:MouseEvent)
{
    time(0);
}
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stops);
function stops(e:MouseEvent)
{
    time(1);
}

var timer:Timer;
function time(cc:int)
{
    if(cc == 0)
    {
        if(!timer)
            timer = new Timer(1000,100);        
        timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tmer);
        timer.start();
    }   
    else if (cc == 1)
    {
        trace("stop");
        timer.stop();
        timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tmer);
    }
}

function tmer(e:TimerEvent):void
{
    trace("start");
}
