test version of one man and his dog game

this is for the fairytaleproject. my friend pete very kindly wrote me some code to make the sheep walk about so they are more natural and it takes more work to get them rounded up. this has been really difficult to integrate with the original code though, so here is a rubbish version. I'm pleased with the style though. future augmentation will include depth as the sheep get nearer to the bottom of the screen, ai for the sheep, flocking (!! tough!), a timer, scores and levels. all in all its a lot of work and i'm scrabbling in the dark trying to get flash to do what i want.
why does the timer go so strange on the second version round! if anyone can see a solution to this please let me know and i'll send you the .fla

please let us know your thoughts. ta.
