Answer 1

You have added your player in Main into stage instead of this - why, by the way? So, there are two methods of fixing this: First, change line where you add player to display list, and second, remove direct coercion from Heli.fireBullet() function. I'd say use the first one.
public function startPlayer() : void {
player=new Heli();
player.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
player.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
// add Player to display list
this.addChild(player); // <-- this, not stage
gameState = STATE_PLAY_GAME;
}

Answer 2

Change
MovieClip(parent).bullets.push(b);
MovieClip(parent).bullets.push(b2);
to
MovieClip(root).bullets.push(b);
MovieClip(root).bullets.push(b2);
