[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]im almost done with my game but i have two problems.

1. when the laser hits and enemy it doesn’t disappear instead it keeps going through enemies until its out of the screen.  
-i tried to add a removemovieclip to it but when i did it it removed the laser that you cant even shot no more.hehe

2)when i move forward the stars scroll fine but when that one reaches the end of the end the other stars that is suppose to be respawn .respawns at the same spot i had the other one previously. i dont know if i am explaining this the right way.

this is the code on the on the spaceship:
