Alright, I’m making a game where you control a plane and shoot down enemy planes. I need the script how to shoot with an aircraft and it is not controlled with a mouse, like I found on this site. I also need the script so the enemies spawn from random places from the right, going to the left and sometimes shooting.
Now you know my story. Can anyone help me like guiding me on the right way or give a link to a tutorial for Flash MX?

Do they just shoot randomly, or do you want them to have some ai?

Well, some of them could have enough AI to aim, some just shoot randomly and some just flying straight forward, making kamikaze and hope that they ram the player.

Your game sounds like mine ([TAC2](http://www.firestorm.wisecomputing.biz/TAC2.htm)), but its a very common idea for games.
Anyway asking for scripts will most likely reward you with the answer of, “Do it yourself.” People encourage others to look up the information and practice it so you learn someting. The tutorials here work great for me. Sounds like you could use the [shooting, [url=“http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/random.htm”]random, and [url=“http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random\_motion.htm”]random movement ](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/fire.htm)tutorials.
Makeing games is tough, but rewarding. Good luck! :thumb:

Thanks for the help, but i want to shoot with the space button instead of the mouse, but I think that I can figure out that, well, i hope so. Thanks for the help.
You have done a cool game, by the way.
