How do I return to the Menu?

Hey guys,

I’ve been a long time lurker and decided to finally sign up because I would really appreciate your help with something I’ve been scratching my head with for a few days now.
Please download the attachments if you would care to help…

If you have done so, you’ll see there is a MoveEnemy.as, SpawnEnemy.as and StartGame.as and SpawnEnemy.fla

MoveEnemy.as = a way for me to add an enemy
SpawnEnemy.as = the menu
StartGame.as = the game in action

Apologies for the terrible names.

I’m having an issue at the moment where I don’t know how to return to the main menu after clicking the “Menu” button while the game is running.
So the example/scenario is:

  1. The SWF opens and SpawnEnemy.as (which is the Main Menu) is executed. A Start Button appears.

  2. I click the Start button which executes StartGame.as and a ball repeatedly loops along the y axis. So far so good.

3. I click on the Menu button…how do I get back to the SpawnEnemy.as or how do I get back to the menu that contains my Start button?

I already have:
var startGame:StartGame = new StartGame();
in SpawnEnemy.as (my Menu)

and when I insert:
var spawnEnemy:SpawnEnemy = new SpawnEnemy();
in StartGame.as, it crashes (hence why it’s commented out)

Does anyone have a solution?
