mx.effects::Effect/stop() does not stop effect for all targets (or single target) when using startDelay (same issue for mx.effects::Effect/pause())

Steps to reproduce:

1. Adjust font path per local settings and compile following code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="vertical"
applicationComplete="test(new Array(field1, field2, field3));">
<mx:Style>
@font-face

{ src: url("C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/Arial.ttf"); fontFamily: arial; fontWeight: bold; advancedAntiAliasing: true; }

</mx:Style>
<mx:Text id="field1" width="300" height="20" text="This is a test" fontFamily="arial"/>
<mx:Text id="field2" width="300" height="20" text="This is another test." fontFamily="arial"/>
<mx:Text id="field3" width="300" height="20" text="This is another test v2." fontFamily="arial"/>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.events.EffectEvent;
import mx.effects.Fade;
public function test(targets:Array):void

{ var f:Fade = new Fade(); f.targets = targets; f.alphaFrom = 1; f.alphaTo = 0; f.startDelay = 3000; f.duration = 2000; f.addEventListener(EffectEvent.EFFECT_START, stopFades); f.play(); }

public function stopFades(e:Event):void

{ (e.target as Fade).stop(); }

]]
>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>

Actual Results:

First text field, "field1", incorrectly continues with fade. First text field continues with fade even when using only (1) item for "targets" array.

Expected Results:

All fades should have stopped before starting, and text fields should remain visible.

Additional Notes:

Tested using FP 9.0.0.16 & 10.1.53.64 in IE6 on PC and 10.1.53.64 in Firefox 3.6.6 on Mac. Also tested using Flex SDK 4.1.0.16076. Same result.
