roll_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rollDice);
function rollDice(event:MouseEvent):void{
    var die1:uint = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
    var die2:uint = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
    var diceTotal:uint = die1 + die2;
    die1_txt.text = die1.toString();
    die2_txt.text = die2.toString();
    status_txt.text = "You rolled "+diceTotal;
    if(die1 == die2){
	doubles_txt.text = "DOUBLES! You get a free turn";
    } else {
	doubles_txt.text = "";
