I Suck At AS3 - Please Help!

programming flash

I am trying to create a slider that when changed either adds icons or subtracts icons.

But I suck.

Here is what I got:


package 
{
	import flash.filters.*;
	import flash.ui.*;
	import flash.display.*;
	import flash.events.*;
	import fl.transitions.*;
	import fl.transitions.easing.*;
	import fl.controls.Slider; 
	import fl.events.SliderEvent; 
	import fl.controls.Label; 
	
	public class Main extends Sprite {

		public static var stage:Stage;
		public static var crowd:Sprite = new Sprite();
		public static var people:Number = 1;
		public static var person:icon = new icon();

		public function Main () {
			
			addChild(crowd);
 
			slide_test.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, changeHandler);
			
			slide_test.tickInterval = 10; 
			slide_test.maximum = 100; 
 
			function changeHandler(event:SliderEvent):void { 
			
    			people = event.value - people;
			
				if (people < 0) {
					subtract_people();
				}
				
				if (people > 0) {
					add_people();
				}
			}
			
			function add_people():void {
				
				for(var i=0; i<people; i++) {
					person.x = 10 * i;
					person.y = 30;
					crowd.addChild( person )
					trace(people + slide_test.value);
				}
				
				people = slide_test.value;
			}
			
			function subtract_people():void {
				
				people = people * -1
				
				for( var i=0; i<people; i++ ) {
					crowd.removeChildAt(i);
				}
				
				people = slide_test.value;
			}
			
		}
	}
}
