I'm kinda new to flash and actionscript so I'd like to know...
I'm making an RPG game, and at the beginning of course, you can pick on what attributes to spend your points on.
There are 4 attributes that all start on 0 and there are 12 points available to spend.

How would I go around doing this?

Or more specifically, can I make a numeric variable not go any higher or lower than a specific number?

Any help would be appreciated.
Remember, this is in AS2.

Would you be so kind as to be more specific/exact please?
I'm not very good with ActionScript.

So you have a variable and another variable that limits it:
var someNum:Number = 5;
var MAXNUM:Num = 10;

Then you have some line(s) that changes it:
someNum++;

Then you have another line that checks it for its max:
if(someNum > MAXNUM)
someNum = MAXNUM;
