soo... is it sort of like a turn-based game where everytime you hit the
ghost(which doesnt move ?) another one is dynamically generated ??

Anyway I think the things you need to know are stuff like
1) Finding the _x and _y value based on your angle input.
input: 90
_x= ??
_y= ??
the bullet movement from the gun is based on the _x and _y values that you calculate.
2) "randomization" for the generation of ghost movieclip
3) _rotation for the gun movement based on angle, which is simple enough
_rotation= 96; (your input)
4) hittest for bullet clip against ghost clip
5) duplicateMovieClip or attachMovieclip for ghost clip, for attachMovieclip you should know how to do the linkage from the flash library.
Also use removeMovieclip when the ghost is hit or bullet leaves the stage

Is there any such game out there or tutorials to help me

maybe searching for a "space invader game" and "angle calculation" tutorial would be helpful
