so i am making my first game, in other words, i am a noob. i want an enemy to come towards me. so to do this, i compare the x and y values.  
cir is one of my objects names. enemy is the others’.  
so on the enemies actions, what do i right,  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (???\_x \> \_x) {  
\_x + 3  
}}  
how do i reference another objects x and y coordinates.
