[color=sienna]On this code:[/color] onClipEvent (load) { function reset(){ this.\_x=600; this.\_y=random(200)+100; enemySpeed=random(4)+1; } reset();}Give your this.\_x the random, and give the \_y a position abovethe screen. Go through the rest of your code and switchaccordingly[color=sienna]On this code:[/color]onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (\_root.spaceship.scrollStart){ this.\_x-=enemySpeed+\_root.mainGround.groundSpeed; } else { this.\_x-=enemySpeed; } if (this.\_x\<-10) { reset(); }}change the \_x to \_y and make sure to change -= to +=.There will probably be a few more tweeks you will have to make, Ididn’t look through all the tutorial, but this should get you started

[color=sienna]On this code:[/color]

onClipEvent (load) {  
function reset(){  
this.\_x=600;  
this.\_y=random(200)+100;  
enemySpeed=random(4)+1;  
}  
reset();  
}

Give your this.\_x the random, and give the \_y a position abovethe screen. Go through the rest of your code and switch accordingly  
[color=sienna][/color]  
[color=sienna]On this code:[/color]

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.spaceship.scrollStart)  
{  
this.\_x-=enemySpeed+\_root.mainGround.groundSpeed;  
}  
else {  
this.\_x-=enemySpeed;  
}  
if (this.\_x\<-10) {  
reset();  
}  
}

change the \_x to \_y and make sure to change -= to +=.
