    What you show should work.  It would also work without the timer.stop();  Maybe you should work it out in a separate file first to make sure you have everything proerly mapped.  Here's some code that works to help demo it:

     

    var tm:Timer = new Timer(1000, 20);

     

    function reportCount(evt:TimerEvent):void {
        trace(String(tm.currentCount));
    }

     

    tm.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, reportCount);

     

    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restartClock);

     

    function restartClock(evt:MouseEvent):void {
        tm.reset();
        tm.start();
    }

     

    tm.start();

    Please check below code.

     

    import flash.events.TimerEvent;
    import com.greensock.TimelineLite;

    var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000,0);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,checkTime)
    timer.start();

     

    // This function is required so that once getTimer() will give you required number i.e. 1500 reset function will be called

    function checkTime(e:TimerEvent)
    {
          var cTime:int = getTimer();
          trace(cTime + " " + timer.currentCount) // currentCount will show that timer is restarted,
          if(cTime>=15000 && cTime<=16000)
          {
                 ResetTime();
           }
    }


    function ResetTime():void
    {
          trace("ResetTime")
          timer.stop();
          timer.reset();
          timer.start();
    }

     

    Hope that will solve your problem

     

    Regards
