Answer 1

The class of course would be the Timer class.
Here is a simple example to get you started.

package 
{
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.display.Sprite;

public class TimerExample extends Sprite 
{
    public function TimerExample() 
    {
        var timer:Timer = new Timer(10000);
        timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
        timer.start();
    }

    public function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void 
   {
        trace("timerHandler: " + event);
    }
}
}
