ActionScript 3.0 :: Keep Track Of Score, Then Give Result?

I want to create a very simple game for school. The user chooses answers based on questions, at the end the software presents some choices to the player based upon what they said. They have to choose food they like to eat, and the game tells them about the diet, they have 9 choices.I wonder how I should keep track of what they player chose, and how to come up with the result based upon those choices. I made it with a score, so each answer had a value, but various arrangements of answers had the same score. I'm new to Flash and Actionscript 3, I understand conditionals and variables but am unable to piece the logic together for this in my head.
