Hey guys, I really suck at actionscript but I want to make a really simple game.

The game is basically a race. But all you do is choose who you think is going to win, really simple. Three characters will grow hair, whoever grows the most the fastest wins.

I was thinking the way to do it would be to have 9 movie clips that load randomly. And having a variable set to 3 of the movie clips, that way there are three places for each character, if that makes sense.

All I know is the ultra simple actionscript, like simple timeline control. I did take a class in C++ and was told that they are similar, but that was also 2 years ago. So I have a basic understanding of if/then statements and variables.

If anyone could help me with this it would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

You would do well to learn how to...

- declare and modify variables
- define functions
- generate useful random numbers
- attach movieclips to the stage with actionscript
- use the tween class

... that would go a long way to getting you there and there are plenty tutorials on these fundamentals out there.
