Multiple enemies (AS2)

hi. Right now im on my last day of working on this school project before its due. I’ve tried a few things already and can’t get it working; although I know the concept, I cant program this correctly.

What i’m trying to do is import movieclip “enemy” from the library to the screen. I have already programmed its movement in my actions layer with

enemy._y = enemy._y - enemyspeed

so that the enemy moves up on your screen as you try to avoid it. I have seen a way of inputting multiple enemies on the screen at one time;
it dealt with using variable i, which in this case would be equal from 1 to 5 (allowing only 5 enemies to be on the screen at one given time), and giving each enemy the next value of i until they reset.

if someone could help me write this out it would be great help, thank you
