Traditionally, a sleep() function stops the code in it's tracks and then
resumes after a delay. Timer Events can't give you exactly that behaviour.
I can understand wanting to delay processing for a while, but in an event
driven environment it may not be what's needed. Usually I associate timed
events with doing screen updates for animation, or timing out some pending
event that's taking too long.
I was curious what the OPs intention was since they explicitly asked about
stopping processing.

there is a lot of use for sleep function.
you can try use flash.events.TimerEvent write your own sleep().
as3 doesn't have it own sleep function.

What processing are you trying to stop and why?
