Well, I just got flash, and im spending many hours looking at websites for tips on how to create games, Animating, and everything about action script. I am trying to learn how to make games in flash. I wanna make a wrestling game, but not the type with controls, it will be clicking based. Which the story line unfolds due to clicking which path you will chose, say will you say no or yes? Go here or there? You get the point. It is basically like this game...

Just with different backgrounds and play mechanics

But i have a question, I know the story line of the wrestling game is possible. But, Is it possible to make a battle system in Flash. When i want the player to actually wrestle, I want the battle system like Final Fantasy. If you do not know what this is, Its basically a menu of moves you have to pick, and then an animation shows you doing the move. But i want statistics to get involved.

I'd like to have Health, Endurance, and Reversal bars, each going down when you perform a specific move, or get hit.

Also, what i want to do is when you do a move, such as a powerbomb, that move takes power points.

Think Final Fantasy, or Pokemon, and the like..

But the PP would go down when you do a move. Can each set of moves..

So far i have Power, Speed, Acrobat, and Special

have there own PP Also, Say a speedy's move takes about 4 PP, and a power move takes say 9. Is that possible to assign every move with there very own PP?

i would also like to have the game feature a Fan excitement ratio, which means a percentage of how well the fans liked your match, the more the fans liked it, the more money you get to upgrade your character ( basically, for every move you hit, depending on the move, the fan excitement would go up, if its just a suplex, it goes up say 2%, if you hit your finisher, it goes up 7%)

And also, is there a way to use that same fan ratio idea on how to make a finisher bar? But the bar goes up quicker, and when you have it, you can hit your finisher.

Im sorry if this is confusing, But anyway, I just want to know if this is all possible?

Thanks a lot for your help, and if you guys could, could you post me links in replys that would help me get to this goal faster. Like specific tutorial links, thank you!

also, I forgot this, how smart can i make the AI, I know you can make them move, but i dont want my wrestlers to move, i want them to actually wrestle back, let them perform moves and stuff. Is that possible?

And i know there is a lot of animation involved..

Yes it is possible to make this game. If I were you and was starting to learn how to make games, I'd teach myself object orientation and how this applies to Actionscript. It'll make many things alot easier for you to handle. Though I must say, if you know little of actionscript today, this game of yours might be a little too comlex as the first game you make. I suggest you try to make a simpler game first, like tetris or arkanoid :)
