Question

I’m new to Flash AS3. I started making a game and I am a bit confused. Let’s assume that I want to create a game that has multiple levels/modes, how can I do this in an object orientated way?

When i create games in other languages e.g. XNA C#, i create a separate class then create an object of that class within the main class and run the game based on a simple statement.

if(player picks second option)
object2.start_level
else
object1.start_level 

How can this be done is AS3? Are there any Tutorials I could read on, please? Thanks.

You may create your levels and attach them onto the main scene dynamically

if(player picks second option)
  addChild(object2);
else
  addChild(object1);

In your objects you can link the initialization of the level when the event Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE is distpached.
