Using symbols to represent code flow

[snowy33]

hi, hope y'all can help,
i need to create an application that allows kids to drag graphical blocks, representing directions, to an area on the stage, and if the blocks are placed in the correct order, an animated car will take the correct route around a course; the blocks are more or less representing elements of a program, and if its placed correctly, the animation will be carried out, else error messages will be displayed. can this be done in flash 8, which is the version i have, and would there be much to it?

Oh yes.

> would there be much to it?
If you are good at it shouldn't take too long, if not - well you will struggle

thanks for replying kennethkawamoto; i should have stated that i am new to Flash, and am at an early stage of learning the actionscripts.
any tips on how to do do it?
(BTW, my profile states that im in MIS, but i put that in by mistake, and can't seem to get rid of it, im a pretty bascic level programmer)

Do you have a screen visual of your project?

no, not yet, i just wanted to verify the projects feasibility with flash first, i am going to start the design in the next couple of days. i will have to look into the whole area of drag and drop using flash also, guess i have alot of learning ahead!
