Help with strategy game

So I’m new to this forum and fairly new to flash. However I have big ideas that will hopefully get me somewhere someday. For now im working on the layout of a game where you start out as a small rebelion, buy guns, ammo, and recruit militants. and can travel to places in other countries and try and take them over. I have a few questions my main one is how can i make it so it takes the army he has into consideration against what he’s trying to fight. this is what i tried. canarmy1.onRelease if a = > 116 gotoAndStop (5);
else if a = < 116 gotoAndStop(6); canarmy1 being the button for the canadian army #1 spot.

Sorry if that was confusing please help. If you need me to i can attach a copy of what i have thus far.
