in case you didnt know johnnei, at least for my comp, when the mini boss comes on he shoots 2 missiles and then there is a third one at the top not matter what.
saint to do the little alien things is actually pretty easy. So on the explode functions you just have a random number thing, and then if the number equals a certain number you get the x and y data and attach the alien movie clip. For the alien movie clip you have it so the dirrection is down and when it is at the bottom change it to be moving across instead of down.
I have a question as well from the shoot the game thing, how do you add the border things?
