>> The second param limits the number of times it can fire. True, both methods will work. However, if you use the second repeatCount parameter, then you won't know when it's finished so you can remove your listener unless you also add a listener to listen for the timerComplete event as well - so you'd have two listeners running instead of one and have to remove both of those listeners. Doesn't matter either way IMO, just be sure you remove the listeners when it's finished if you don't need it anymore.
