so I'm new to AS3, and have struggled to get to this point, so sorry for any errors or nooby mistakes.
All I want now, is for my game to restart after 2 minutes has passed. Does anyone know how I can do this? I'm at a complete loss.
Here is my code:

/*frame_timer.y = 50;*/
var time_count:Timer = new Timer(1000);

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Generally speaking, you would use a Timer to trigger a function when 2 minutes is up.
Something like this:
var gameTimer:Timer = new Timer(120 * 1000); // 120 seconds * 1000 milliseconds
gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onGameTimerTick);
gameTimer.start();
function onGameTimerTick(e:TimerEvent):void {
//stop the timer
gameTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onGameTimerTick);
gameTimer.stop();
restartMyGame();
}

I have 2 issues in this code.
The first is:
5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one externally visible definition: Sprayer, bugs
I've put multiple Actionscripts together to create this, i've seperated out the classes and am hoping to play this on a frame from a symbol.
and the second relates to:
Error #1006: hitTestObject is not a function
For this i'm trying to get the aagun/Sprayer to lose health then lives if the bugs touch it, but i'm not sure why it's saying it's not a function. Am I using the wrong words?

5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one externally visible definition: Sprayer, bugs
As it says exactly: you can't have more than one public definition in a file. You have to either split the code to several files or move definitions, that you don't need public, out of the package.
This would be Ok in one file:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
// public is the default access modifier
public class Test1 extends MovieClip
{
public function Test1()
{
trace("test1");
var t2:Test2 = new Test2();
var t3:Test3 = new Test3();
}
}
}
// Test2 and Test3 are defined outside of the package, otherwise it wouldn't compile.
// These definitions will only be visible to code in this file.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
class Test2 extends MovieClip
{
public function Test2()
{
trace("test2");
}
}
class Test3 extends MovieClip
{
public function Test3()
{
trace("test3");
}
}

Error #1006: hitTestObject is not a function
This usually means that hitTestObject() is not defined on the object (or it's ancestors) you are trying to call it from (although there could be different kinds of errors for that).
hitTestObject() is accessed in two ways in your code: airplanes.hitTestObject() and bullets[bulletNum].hitTestObject(). You will have to debug your code to see what is actually airplanes and bullets[bulletNum], what types they are and whether they inherit hitTestObject() method. You could at least trace() them.
I have a problem. I am trying to make a copter game in Adobe Flash with ActionScript 3.0, but now the game works, but the obstacles can't be removed from stage. The obstacles are still going miles out of the stage. How can I remove the obstacles?? and same problem if you are game over, if you are game over the event end, but the last spawned obstacles you see still and aren't removed. And how can I make the obstacles go faster after a period of time??
There are standing some dutch words in it, such as 'hoeSpelen' that is for instructions text en 'af' is for the gameover text and 'tijd' = time and 'balkje' = obstacles.
I hope you can help me.

public class Balkje extends MovieClip
{
var vx : Number = 1;
public function Balkje()
{
vx = 5;
addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame );
}
public function onEnterFrame( event:Event )
{

}
}
}
Not tested - probably full of errors, and I haven't done AS3 in a while:
When you initialize obstacles, pass in the stage object (not sure if this is the best practice)
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Balkje extends MovieClip
{
var vx : Number = 1;
public function Balkje()
{
vx = 5;
if(!stage){
//if stage isn't populated yet, wait for it
this.addEventListner(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,addedToStage);
}else{
init();
}
}
private function addedToStage(e:Event):void {
this.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,addedToStage);
init();
}
protected function init():void {
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
}
public function onEnterFrame( event:Event )
{
x -= vx;
//check x
if(this.x + this.width <= 0 || this.x >= stage.stageWidth) {
if(this.parent) this.parent.remmoveChild(this);
removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame );
}
}
}
}
Again, not tested (is stage.stageWidth correct to get the stage width?) but you get the idea. Check the x of the object, if it is outside the visible stage remove it from its parent (I just put this.parent because you didn't add the obstacle to the stage).
Also, why do you add event listener to ENTER_FRAME in a function called by ENTER_FRAME?
I'm just trying to make a simple vertical shooter, one where the player's ship is controlled by the mouse and fires a laser when you click the mouse. However, when I try running the code, I keep getting the same error message:

--==--
Sorry if the brackets are coming in uneven, I just wanted to outline the code in its entirety, and show the parts I added where things started going wrong, so someone can tell me what I need to do to make this work.
Basically, everything else works...but when I work on the things connected to the mouse clicking and the array with the lasers, the program stops working. The error seems to be connected to the functions "mouseGoUp" and "mouseGoDown," but I'm not sure how to fix that.
This assignment is due March 8. Can someone help me, please?
Add this import flash.events.MouseEvent; to the top of your class and it should work. You need to import everything you use. That's why you get that error.
As well as importing MouseEvent, in the initialisation of your game, you should add event listeners to the stage which listen for the MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseGoDown);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseGoUp);
What would be simpler, though, would be to do away with the 'mouseClick' variable and have just a single MouseEvent listener which listens for the MOUSE_DOWN event and trigger your missle launch from the handler.
I had a game like this if you want the entire source i can give it to you but the main parts are
var delayCounter:int = 0;
var mousePressed:Boolean = false;
var delayMax:int = 5;//How rapid the fire is
var playerSpeed:int = 5;
var bulletList:Array = [];
var bullet:Bullet;
var upPressed:Boolean = false;
var downPressed:Boolean = false;
var leftPressed:Boolean = false;
var rightPressed:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mouseDownHandler,false,0,true);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,mouseUpHandler,false,0,true);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop,false,0,true);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_SetKeyPressed);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fl_UnsetKeyPressed);

player.rotation = Math.atan2(mouseY - player.y,mouseX - player.x) * 180 / Math.PI + 90;

I'm trying to compile my 2D game to test it and I'm getting this error: \Main.as, Line 32 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2.
Line 32 contains this code var enemy:Enemy = new Enemy(null);
Any help is always appreciated, thanks everyone.

As you said, error is pointing to:
var enemy:Enemy = new Enemy(null);
and Enemy constructor is:
public function Enemy(stageRef:Stage, bulletList:Array){
So you are missing 2nd parameter - bulletList.
" Player.as, Line 59 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hitTestObject through a reference with static type Class."
I am new to flash and am trying to make a game, specifically I am trying to make it so the player class in a game can collide with things, I am using a square at the bottom of his feet (not yet referenced in the code) and a MovieClip called collisionTest
package
{
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import KeyObject;
public class Player extends MovieClip
{
public var stageRef:Stage;
public var key:KeyObject;
//add these four variables:
public var leftPressed:Boolean = false; //keeps track of whether the left arrow key is pressed
public var rightPressed:Boolean = false; //same, but for right key pressed
public var upPressed:Boolean = false; //...up key pressed
public var downPressed:Boolean = false; //...down key pressed
private var gravity:Number = 2;
private var runSpeed:Number = 5;
private var touchingGround:Boolean = false;
public var vPressed:Boolean = false;
public function Player(stageRef:Stage, X:int, Y:int):void
{
this.stageRef = stageRef;
this.x = X;
this.y = Y;
key = new KeyObject(stageRef);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop, false, 0, true);
}
public function loop(e:Event):void
{
checkKeypresses(); //call "checkKeypresses()" every frame
checkCollisions();
if(leftPressed)
{
x -= runSpeed;
}else if(rightPressed)
{
x += runSpeed;
}
if(upPressed)
{
y -= runSpeed;
}else if(downPressed)
{
y += runSpeed;
}
}
public function checkCollisions():void
{
**(this is line 59)** if(Player.hitTestObject(Player.collisionTest)){
touchingGround = true;
trace("gounded");
}
}
public function checkKeypresses():void
{
// I used http://www.dakmm.com/?p=272 as a reference to get the keyCode numbers for each key
if(key.isDown(37) || key.isDown(65)){ // if left arrow or A is pressed
leftPressed = true;
//trace("left pressed");
} else {
leftPressed = false;
}
if(key.isDown(38) || key.isDown(87)){ // if up arrow or W is pressed
upPressed = true;
//trace("up pressed");
} else {
upPressed = false;
}
if(key.isDown(39) || key.isDown(68)){ //if right arrow or D is pressed
rightPressed = true;
//trace("right pressed");
} else {
rightPressed = false;
}
if(key.isDown(40) || key.isDown(83)){ //if down arrow or S is pressed
downPressed = true;
//trace("down pressed");
} else {
downPressed = false;
}
}
}
}
Function hitTestObject isn't a static function, so you should call it from an object instance, same to the collisionTest.
So it should be
this.hitTestObject(collisionTest);//set collisionTest in the Player class
