If the enemyship dissapears after 2 seconds, go to the ship script and change the "if(enemyTimer > 60)" to "if(enemyTimer > 120)"

For any developers out there I praise you, because you have to deal with this crap. I've done this only for a couple hours and I want to beat the hell out of whoever came up with the case sensitive idea. 1 hour just to change my "e" to "E". But it's worth it :)

add comments to your code so you can remember what you learned
like this:
// comment
or
/*

typo on page 2 ?? last sentance "but we dont need ay enemy ships on stage..." hopefully have my own game done in a few months .. i doing a game development course at college too xD

check your background.It may ALSO have the instance name"ship" or "Ship" if it does, then remove it.Took me a long time to figure out:P

if i wanted to have multiple enemies, types so to speak, would i have to basicly copy these lines with the class names different like enemyship2 or what not

For those who seem to have correctly copied the code, but have errors:
Perhaps you are missing one of these: ; { } ( ) Or perhaps you have put parts of code in the wrong place.
Remember: Computers are the most stupid things you could possibly "talk to". If you don't "speak" their language perfectly flawless, they will not understand you.

For those of you who are trying to do this in AS3, I advise you make destructor methods, and even consider making an abstract parent class that handles all of your necessary parameters automatically (speed, registering EnterFrame, a generic destructor method). Also, if you are having trouble with a ship always appearing in the begining, that is because you didn't delete the enemy ship from the first frame. This was tough for me, because I couldn't find it behind my own ship.

I have all the codes right, as far as I know, but when I test it, the ships just appear in random places for a split second and disappear, it never stops... How do I fix this?

just can't get this to work. no matter what x and y coordinates i set the ship at, it appears in the upper left corner and stays put. on on cs5

enemyTimer += 1;
if ( enemyTimer > 60) {
enemyTimer = 0;
_root.attachMovie("EnemyShip", "EnemyShip"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
}
i cant get my ships to come....

I know a lot of people have said this already but, i cannot get enemy ships to appear. the only way i have gotten it to work is by placing one on the stage. I have checked the code several times, i have deleted and remade the enemy ships movieclip several times, and it still doesn't work please pm me with an answer if you have one.

If you want to make it so that the furthest up/down is only just touching the edge, try "_y = Math.random()*264 + 18;".

Flashsoldier, I'm gonna cut you some slack because you are new here. But spamming your problem won't help.
You probably put if(enemytimer < 60) instead of if(enemytimer > 60)

@randomguy1273: When you create a new file, you have to select 'ActionScript 2.0.' These tutorials are made for Actionscript 2.0, so make sure you are using that, not the current version, which is 3.0. Hope that helps! :P

When I tried this, my ship wouldn't move and the enemies would not come out. I moved the command on my ships code that controlled the enemies so it was in the same { }'s as the Key.Right, Key.Left section. Works like a charm :D

Odd the enemy works when i place one on screen which means its the coding for one apearing at random which is faulty...

Nevermind, I found it. I had a greater than sign as a less than sign. I should have had:
if (enemyTimer > 60), but instead I had:
if (enemyTimer < 60)

When I load my project everything works, except that there are hundreds of enemy ships rather than just a few, I don't know what I have done wrong. Please help me.

Hey guys I copied everything and all. But the enemy sprites don't appear on the right side of the screen. Help please... and thanks in advance!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
xD on the part where you make the player create the enemy, i also tested it and went and fixed the enemy ship where it spawns half off the screen. i go to the next step and it tells me to do exactly what i did

EASIEST SHOOTORIAL SO FAR... who new that flash was so simple yet powerful?? i mean it's all just logic and problem solving... just my kind of work. YES FLASH!

@boometh: had the same problem with my missiles in shootorial 3. however when i'd completely finished that shootorial i just deleted the missile and then the layer the missile was in and it still worked.. not sure if this will help in your case but it's worth a try...
