Here's a quick and easy example of time-line usage.  Here's the idea: create a movie tween of the wheel with a CW rotation of 10 times over ~70 frames. 

By the time that finishes create a string with a random number concatenated on the end of it.  This string will be the flag to the frame with the corresponding ending animation.

var ran:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 16) + 1;
var frame:String = "prize" + ran;
//trace(frame); // observability
gotoAndPlay(frame);

The timeline is setup as follows: each animation will have a CW rotation of 1 time over ~24 frames. At the end of each animation the ending key frame will be where the wheel stops - corresponding prize flag - and a stop(); command so the time line will not progress into the next animation.

 Here's what a piece of the time line will look like when a few animations are setup:

 When you're finished  with the animation installments, in order to play the game continuously just add a button to the stage (on every keyframe) and on the keyframe of where the button first appears(should be frame 1) just add this code:

For Actionscript 2.0

 spinAgain_mc.onRelease = function() {
	gotoAndPlay(1);
} 

For Actionscript 3.0:

spinAgain_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spin);
spinAgain_mc.buttonMode = true;
function spin(e:MouseEvent):void {
	gotoAndPlay(1);
}
