Adding the new NoTanks.as init function
The new init function is going to delete the newGame function call and set the focusRect to be false .
private function init():void {
this.focusRect = false;
initTileSheetData();
}
The newGame function is now called by Main.as and the focusRect will be set to false when the
level starts.

Creating the newGame function
This function is almost a complete rewrite of the original newGame function. We have added code
to reset the level , score , lives , and gameOver variables, as well as dispatch events to update the
four scoreboard elements.
override public function newGame():void {
setRegions();

level = 0;
score = 0;
lives = playerStartLives;
gameOver = false;

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyDownListener);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUpListener);

addChild(canvasBitmap);
dispatchEvent(new CustomEventScoreBoardUpdate(CustomEventScoreBoardUpdate.

UPDATE_TEXT,Main.SCORE_BOARD_SCORE,"0"));
