I use the n00b way:

make a MC with 12 frames (depends on youre movie speed)
put on the 12th frame a key frame with this script.

_root.timer-=1;

now on the maintimeline make a dynamic textfield with the value you want the player to have the time...

now use this script on a MC or something:

if(_root.timer==0){
gotoAndStop("YouLosePunk");
}

This is quite easy:

onClipEvent(load){
start = getTimer();

secs = 5; // The delay
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
now = getTimer();
passed = now - start;
if(passed/1000 > secs){
// Do somthing
}
}
