Other Problems
1) The enemies / boxes for now, they arent even after a while.
2) I don't know how to shift them down...

You need to change the space button callback to reference _root.i, not the i - otherwise the if (this != _level0.bullet)' condition in the bullet onEnterFrame event will never be met.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
if (_root.shootonce) {
// set fire to be true
_root.fire = 1;
//increment root var i every time a shot is made
_root.i += 1;
//set shootonce to be false, so that no shot can occur until reset
_root.shootonce = false;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.bullet, "bullet"+_root.i, _root.i+99);
}
}

Hope that makes sense. I'll post the fla if you want me to. :¬)

yep thanks... i fixed it... now i have two more things before i start making graphics :P

1) Enemy Fires
2) If you destory most of the enemies it doesnt move all the way to the side... i'll try to get a picture to illustrate

-- enemy fires = phoneix3

1) what was the question about enemy firing?
2) no need, I think I know what you mean - I'll try and have a look tonight when I get home

Increase the frame rate, maybe to 25:D

ummm it doesnt seem to loop through... the last enemy # 30 keeps firing... look at the swf and you'll see
