Greetings all!
I am new to the Flash platform but so far, I see lots of possibilities. I am running into some challenges with flash and was hoping someone could shed some light on them.
1) For an action game, do you write directly to the stage or to a movie clip? I see many examples writing directly to the stage, but if you do that, how do you control the Z index? For instance, one issue I immediately ran into was having enemies spawn overtop of my HUD.
2) How do you implement game menus? For instance, I've seen them as part of the game movie and as a seperate "master movie"... for instance... frame one->Start Menu, frame two->game screen with the Engine.as here doing all the action, and frame three-> gameOver menu. I'm over simplifying it, but hopefully you get the drift. Which is best practices?
3) Are there any best processes documents for game programming in Flash?
Thank you!
John
