Answer 1

Create a countdown variable to reflect time in seconds.
Instantiate a timer when you load your game page to countdown every second.
When time has reached 0, apply the logic to end the current level and display your game over page.
// store time remaining in a countdown timer
protected var countdown:uint = 60;
// create a timer, counting down every second
protected var timer:Timer;
// in your go to game, or when you want to start the timer
public function GoToGame(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// ... your go to game function
// start your countdown timer.
timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.start();
}
protected function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void
{
// countdown a second
--countdown;
// update any counter time text field display here...
// if you've reached 0 seconds left
if(countdown == 0)
{
// stop the timer
timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.reset();
// remove current gamePage
// addChild to your game over page.
}
