"Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference
with static type Class"
I think you're calling these methods on the Class main_site.
Try this:
var main_site_instance:main_site = new main_site();
main_site_instance.addEventListener("bk2globe", bk2globeListener);
But, if you are having trouble with this, grab a copy of actionscript 3.0
essentials <http://www.amazon.com/Essential-ActionScript-3-0/dp/0596526946>.
Here is a short article that might help you:

Keep at it!
