FlxState

The FlxState provides a segmented section of code that can be used to separate different parts of your game.

Only one FlxState can be loaded and active at a time. Override create to set up all the objects and pre-loaded content in your state, and destroy for cleanup.

States are typically used for menus, and different ‘screens’ of the game, but can be used for much more.

// change the current state
FlxG.switchState(new MyState());
