endScreen.visible = false; 

This make the end screen not visible

introScreen.play_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickAway); Intro screen is a movie clip with the child play_btn that has a function inside it called EventListener that waits for the mouse click.

function clickAway (event:MouseEvent):void {  This makes a function named clickaway which is a mouse event once you click on that, it activates movescreenoff which takes the intro screen off the page but the name movescreenoff could be called anything

      moveScreenOff (introScreen); - calls a function called moveScreenoff

}

function moveScreenOff (screen:MovieClip):void { This mean the function above is now void once clicked. Which means that the function after clicked will no longer go back to the same.

      screen.x = (screen.width)*-1; The screen is moved away I the x axis

      gameState = "INITGAME";  This is the value of gamestate

      addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameLoop); This triggers the enterframe event which when triggered it activates gameLoop

}

//**************STATE_INIT_GAME**************/

function initGame ():void {  The function initgame is being taken away by being void.

trace("add stuff to initGame") This allows the value initgame to show

function playGame ():void { This creates the function playeGame

      makeEnemies (); Calls the function maleenemies

      testForEnd (); calls the function testForEnd

}

function makeEnemies ():void { Flash will not return these values by default

     

}

function testForEnd ():void { Flash will not return these values by default

      gameState = "ENDGAME"; Makes gamestate variable to rememeber ENDGAME.

}

//**************STATE ENDGAME**************/

function endGame ():void { This creates the function endGame

      removeGame ();

      endScreen.visible = true;

      removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameLoop);

      showResults ();

}

function showResults ():void {

      trace ("Show Results");
