I like how you broke things down to single objects and this is a nice way to view the design code before writing anything down.

Ah a general OOP question that even a flash-noob like me can answer. Don't just separate functions, decompose the game and the objects should fall out. Let's use an online chess game as an example. Chess has players, moves, pieces and a board. I'd probably build a Player.as, Move.as, Piece.as and Board.as I might create descendants of Piece (e.g. King, Queen, Rook etc). As you look at each function in the game put that in the class file that it has the most to do with. Drawing the board goes in Board.as. The board probably knows where the pieces are and calls Piece to draw each piece on an occupied square. Testing for check belongs in Move.as since its not legal to put your own king in check by your move. The checktest should be public as you'll want to re-use it. Testing for checkmate probably belongs in Player as at the start of each player's turn you should test to see if s/he has lost the game. That will probably involve multiple calls to checktest to see if their king can move to a square where he's not in check. The game starts by creating 2 players and a board. while neither player is checkmated it processes one player's turn then the other's.
