flexunit of handle customer event and Async.asyncHandler()

Question

Any one know how does Async.asyncHandler() work and if Async.processOnEvent() can only used in [Before] method.(Any one know some helpful document besides http://docs.flexunit.org/).

I define a MXML component named HelloCompo(extends Vbox), and the component define a function named hello(), in the hello() dispacthed a customer event named HelloEvent(the event type just named "hello"), and in another function named init() listened for the event, I want to test whether the event is dispatched properly or not. So I have the test following:

var helloCompo = new HelloCompo();

helloCompo.hello();

helloCompo.addEventListener("hello", Async.asyncHandler(this, handleHello, 1000, null, handleTimeOut));

The test will always excute the handleTimeOut method(means the HelloEvent is not dispatched, but when helloCompo.hello() excute, it really dispacthed, so what's going wrong?)

    public class HelloTest
    {       
        private var helloCompo:HelloCompo;

        [Before]
        public function setUp():void
        {
            helloCompo = new HelloCompo();
        }

        [After]
        public function tearDown():void
        {
            helloCompo = null;
        }

        [Test(async)]
        public function testHello():void
        {
            var handler:Function = Async.asyncHandler(this, helloHandler, 300, null, helloFailed);
            helloCompo.addEventListener("hello", handler);
            helloCompo.hello();
        }

        private function helloHandler(event:Event, passThroughObject:Object):void
        {
            //assert somthing
        }

        private function helloFailed(event:Event, passThroughObject:Object):void
        {
            fail("hello not dispatched");
        }


    }
