>So I took my generic subclass of TIMER and gave it two properties: OnTimerMethod and OnTimerObject. When the timer goes off, it executes (basically) this.OnTimerObject.&OnTimerMethod(). All that worked, but ... aha! .. there is my other reference to the timer.

I've done something sort of similar, actually- I created a timer that could be passed an object and a method name to be used to create a sort of asynchronous method calling mechanism- only in my case, the timer would only execute once, and then set its interval proprety to 0.

Without really understanding what you want to use this for, my only suggestion is that you handle the execution a little differently by using EVAL() instead of macro subsitution:

lvResult = EVAL("THIS.OnTimerObject." + THIS.OnTimerMethod + "()")
