How to stop Timer event inside movie clip that does not exist?

Question

Hello. I am using Adobe Flash CS6.
As this topic title says. how to stop Timer event nside movieclip that does not exist?
I mean my fla stracture is  there are 2 frames on main timeline, and I put mcA on frame 2.
And I put a button on root that does
if(currentFrame ==1)
gotoAndStop(2);
else if (currentFrame ==2)
gotoAndStop(1);
And mcA has AS inside and it is
var T_Timer:Timer = new Timer(1000,0)
T_Timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, test)
function test(e:TimerEvent):void{
trace("Timer active")
T_Timer.start();
I need to stop T_TImer from root on frame 1, not on frame 2.
but, "mcA.T_Timer.stop();" won't work.
I get TypeError: Error #1010 error.
I don't know how to stop this timer event. I have to stop it from root, and I can't use EVENT_REMOVED in this case.

If the object doesn't exist you cannot do anything relative to targeting it.  Maybe you should move the timer to the main timeline where you can access it any time.
