If all you want is to have some ‘Enemy’ movie clip follow a ‘Character’ movie clip you could do it with an event listener like this
```auto
// add an event listener to your Enemy movie clip
myEnemy.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, follow);
// define how close you want the Enemy to be
var offsetX:int = 50;
var offsetY:int = 10;
// then have a 'follow' function which will get called every
// frame because of the event listener
function follow(e:Event):void
{
// all it does is set the Enemy's coordinates
myEnemy.x = myCharacter.x - offsetX;
myEnemy.y = myCharacter.y - offsetY;
}
```
No doubt there’s tons more to your game than just that (like, how are you moving your character movieclip?) but maybe it’s a start.
