i didnt look at your file but this should help with the timer.

code:


onClipEvent (load) {

    startTime = getTimer();

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

    currentTime = getTimer();

    elapsedTime = Math.round((currentTime-startTime)/1000);

    _root.timeRemain = 30-elapsedTime;

    if (_root.timeRemain == 0) {

        _root.gotoAndPlay("gameOver!");

    }

}
