The Spawn Engine

an educational open source Flash game engine

Release of The Spawn Engine version 0.2

Version 0.2 (for CS5) includes the following changes:

* Completely removed all display objects from the stage, all timeline keyframes, and all timeline code.

* “game states” are now handled by the variable “applicationMode”, which is set to one of two constants, AM_IDLE or AM_GAME

* ButtonFactory is now UIFactory

* all “user interface” elements are now created programmatically, using static methods exposed by UIFactory

* the various application modes manipulate the user interface elements by changing their visibility state, as well as changing text strings

* experienced some strangeness with changing the text of TextFields; they seemed to lose their previous formatting. This was worked around by reapplying the previous formatting (see SpawnEngine.updateText()).

* Implemented some tests of procedural buttons via ButtonFactory (static method)
