How do you make a title screen for a game?
All I want to do is create a screen at the beginning of a game that says to start the game when a "Start" button is clicked. Also, how do you make all the sprites do nothing until the Start button is clicked?

Make a background.
A sprite that has...
When Sprite start (Or whatever you call it) is clicked switch to Maingamebackground (or whatever it is)
You could then have it broadcast something, and then all the other sprites would wait for said broadcast to get there before starting there own scripts.

I agree with Babado, do it with broadcasts. If you are still trying to get it done, I recommend hiding all your game sprites except for the title ones and then when the PLAY button is clicked, broadcast something to the game sprites telling them to start and hide the title screen.

Replace all your game-related-object's scripts that begin with "When Flag Clicked" to a broadcast receiver called something like "WhenPlayClicked"

You could also create a variable that is called something like begmenu and when the Flag is clicked, have it be set to 1 and use it the same way as a broadcast. Then have another variable like play and do the same when it is clicked, showing, hiding, and putting into action your different game mechanics.
