Playing with MouseEvent in Flex 3

I have come across a very interesting problem while developing a flex application where I have a
button control and I want to call two different functions on  click of the button . The interesting part
is that I want to call two different functions on different events of the same button control, one at
single click and other at double click .
Now what to do in this case as it will always execute the function defined at single click .
So what I am gonna do is to use a Timer using setInterval( ) method and use it to solve this problem.

The code goes here -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
import flash.utils.clearInterval;
private var timeGap:Number = new Number();
private function doubleClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
clearInterval(timeGap);
//put your code here to be executed on double click
Alert.show("double click");
}
private function singleClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
clearInterval(timeGap);
timeGap = setInterval(otherClick, 250);
}
private function otherClick():void {
//put your code here to be executed on single click
Alert.show("first click");
clearInterval(timeGap);
}
