Okay, this, I would imagine is the very basic question of getting started with Flash AS3.

When you make a simple game that maybe has a few different ‘screens’ like start, help, and high score, and a few levels, and you don’t wish to load from external swf’s. What is the best practice for making these games as far as the timeline?

To just have ONE frame that add’s and removes child movieclips from the stage?

Or does anyone else suggest another method?
