I have nine enemies - "enemy1_mc" , "enemy2_mc" ... "enemy9_mc"

i want my game so that when you click on an enemy (that has randomly popped up) a new random enemy pops up and repeats this process over and over . . .

are there any ideas? examples?

much appreciated ! :)

thanks

You have nine enemies? no friends? lol


Anyway:
put all enemies in a single mc in separate frames, and do something like

this.onClick = function()
{
this._x = Math.random()*400;
this._y = Math.random()*400;
this.gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(Math.random()*9))
}

Its similar to Math.round, but it always rounds to the larger number... so 4.1 becomes 5
