I thought Id take a try at dividing up a project into scenes.  
All worked well until, I discovered all objects added with addChild, remain on stage after changing scenes,  
Doesnt this defeat the purpose of scenes ?  
Is there a structure//design pattern that allows for switching scenes, as if flicking between channels on the TV ?
