ok… what are you trying to say… your not asking a question here or saying anything about a game except you don’t understand…

looks up these definitions

hitTest(), MovieClip, \_x,\_y

and then do a google search for hitting movieclips in flash, then come back with questions

Sorry,but I have found nothing…I tried google and it came up with 12,000,000 matches…each one just telling how to MAKE movieclips…

this will teach you how to make a vertical shooter, in which you will use the hitTest and hitting the enemy and removing it, everything you need

Yes,but I need a code for just the shooting…I already have all the movement like in [Raiden X](http://crazymonkeygames.com/RaidenX.html).
