so heres my problem, im working on a game where duplicated enemies come scrolling in from the side of the screen. and ive made a turret thats automatically supposed to aim at a random enemy.

heres my code that i put in the turret:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
myRadians = Math.atan2(\_root.enemy1.\_y-this.\_y, \_root.enemy1.\_x-this.\_x);  
myDegrees = Math.round((myRadians\*180/Math.PI));  
this.\_rotation = myDegrees+90;  
this.setDepths  
}

since its \_root.enemy1 it only aims at the enemy1. and if i change it to enemy2 it aims at another enemy. but what i want is for it to aim at a random enemy? how do i do that? please PLEASE PLEASE help me. :pac:
