Hey

Im making a spaceinvaders-style game (dont laugh) and i  
need some way of constantly making new enemies appear.  
I’m thinking to have several preset enemies in the Library  
and dynamically place them on the stage. I also need to  
know how to specify _where_ the enemies appear.

What’s the best way to do this and how?

Thanks in advance 😃
