I wish I'd done something like this <em>before</em> starting my game. Is it just me or people here being a teensy bit demanding? Anyone got any bright ideas for managing audio and on screen actionscript generated anims when changing game states? Im thinking of running through an array of objects and hiding/killing/pausing them as need be. This could be a way to do the game pause that @vorxio mentioned. Seems I should have a 'pause','start', 'hide' and 'kill' method in every object created. Nice. I wish I’d done something like this before starting my game.

The game skeleton should include: - SHOW HISCORE (from main menu) - GAME PAUSED (from THE GAME) - GAME COMPLETED (from LEVEL PASSED if all the levels have been completed) - GAME OVER screen (after one or more LEVEL FAILED if the game has a classic "N lives" mechanism) - SEND HISCORE (from GAME OVER or GAME COMPLETED) Some of these "states" can perhaps be represented simply by adding dedicated layers with one MC (e.g. a "PAUSE press P to continue" text showed when the game enter the GAME PAUSED state). Thank you for your great site! Vor Hi,
I’m developing my *first* FLASH (8 + AS2) game
(for the next one, I’ll try to switch to CS3 + AS3)

I give you other suggestions (you probably (well) know them). The game skeleton should include:

- SHOW HISCORE (from main menu)

- GAME PAUSED (from THE GAME)

- GAME COMPLETED (from LEVEL PASSED if
all the levels have been completed)

- GAME OVER screen (after one or more
LEVEL FAILED if the game has a classic “N lives”
mechanism)

- SEND HISCORE (from GAME OVER or GAME COMPLETED)

Some of these “states” can perhaps be represented
simply by adding dedicated layers with
one MC (e.g. a “PAUSE press P to continue”
text showed when the game enter the GAME PAUSED state).

Thank you for your great site!

Haha, have you thought about a multilayer scope for this design? Your over simplification of the process hurts, yet it makes complete sense.

And I noticed your logo on the side of the page - maybe you could include a bit more of the face, and make the grey part transparent.
