FLX Timer

This document defines the FlxTimer class which is used to create timers in Flixel. The class contains properties and methods for running, stopping, and updating timers. When a timer completes, it dispatches a signal notifying any listeners. Timers can be added to the game timer system via FlxG to trigger regularly during the game loop.
