It all depends on what you're scoring - a timer for time based score, a global var to keep track of the current score, etc. There are any number of ways to create one - you'll need to be more specific

Like a time counter so it says how long you have lasted without dieing (by seconds)

There are a ton of examples out on the web - but this is the basics you'll need - and instead of a trace, update the text field with the count and you'll have seconds

// Somewhere in the main function
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTimer);
myTimer.start();

private function updateTimer(e:TimerEvent):void {

trace(e.target.currentCount);
}

Thanks a lot!
