As you can see I'm have added the "nummer = 300;" to both the fail and the win screen. If I win in 3 seconds, the clock will say 297, and start at 297 the next round instead of the initial 300.
Arg.... redundant code makes my eyes bleed %-X
But still, you are not resetting your timer (femMinutter.reset()). This means
femMinutter.currentCount
will keep increasing, even after your game ends.

It's hard to understand what specific logic you want to implement, but it looks like you need to create an enemy only once. And it looks like the problem is: you call the Timerfood method in the onEnterFrame listeners, which itself is called many times per second according to the framerate of your app (e.g. 30 times per second).
I would suggest you to remove the call of Timerfood from the onEnterFrame method, and put it in the end of the init method.
Well, my English is not very good, but I try tell the possible reason,
the method Timerfood() is called on method onEnterFrame(), that initialize myTimer for each frame, so may be the solution is, remove this line into TimerFood() method:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(10000,1);
and call TimerFood() only in startgame() method.
I hope you can understand me.
I'm quite new with actionscript, and have been scrapping together a little test game to sort of get used to the language, get my feet wet. The premise behind the game is pretty average, I have a character that can move in 8 directions, can pick up several keys that are randomly placed, and open a door when he possesses a key.
The problem comes in to play with the bullet shooting. I don't know much about trigonometry, so when a key is pressed, i just use the .rotate property to turn the player. I pass the .rotate integer into my bullet class and use that to tell which direction the bullet should travel. It works perfectly for the up, down, and right movements, but when the character is facing left the bullet is created but has no velocity whatsoever, and for the life of me I cannot figure out where the error in the code is.
If someone could look over my code and help me out, I would be much appreciated. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just missing. I know it's a bit sloppy, so if there's any other tips you want to pass on to a novice please feel free!!
Thank you so much guys.

So I'm trying to create this simple game in flash, where the variable score would increase by 1 every time the object "meg" hits the object "troll", my code runs nice and i get no errors, but I have the problem that the variable doesn't increase when they hit. Seeing as I've tried for some time now with no success and my low skill in flash I am stuck clueless.
Are you interested in seeing the increment in "txtScore"? It looks like you're setting that TextField once, but never resetting it when score increases.
Try:
if (meg.hitTestObject(troll) == true)
{
score = score+1;
txtScore.text = score.toString(); // show the new score
troll.x = Math.random() * (550 - 0) + 0;
troll.y = Math.random() * (350 - 0) + 0;
}
i'm making a simple game and i'm still learning as3 i want to hit test object on the stage , player with box if hittestobject gotoframe or scene all the objects are on the stage with corect instancename, maintimeline as3 below everything works fine but i get the null error.
it is a maze game.

Im just trying to loop through the two arrays the bullet and enemies array then i perform the hitTestObject on both but it doesnt seem to work until the enemy gets really close to the player or bullet.
here is my code sorry that my code is sloppy `

It looks as though you're only checking for collisions when the shoot button is pressed, which would explain why it's not happening quickly. I suspect you want to run testCollisions every frame instead:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, testCollisions);
