[AS2] Space Invaders Game - Shooting bullets problem

[artS]

Hello guys :eek: . Ehm, im working in an space invaders game :o . And I am having trouble making my ship's bullets hit the enemy (they can hit the enemy, but only from an especific axis/location . I have searched A LOT on internet (but not enough) and I think the problem is that I don't know how to use arrays xD but it's just what I think ... So if you can help me I would really appreciate it. ;)

Use "A" to shoot bullets.

Here you can see the .swf:

Here you can download the .fla:

//To open the links, remove the "a" and the "o" in "http". Because actionscript forums do not let me post links or images, because I only have 3 posts.

please post your appopriate code at the same time - you much more likely to get a response

This is the code inside the first frame:

// DEFINE UNIQUE VARIABLE FOR ATTACHMOVIE FUNCTION
id = 0;

This is the code inside my ship(only the code for shooting bullets):

onClipEvent (load) {

// DEFINE ASCII CODING FOR THE SHOOT KEY - click here for references
shootkey = 65;

// DEFINE OTHER VARIABLES
fps = 24;
delay = 0.25;
fdelay = fps * delay;
count = fdelay;

// CREATE A NEW FUNCTION CALLED "SHOOT" WITH INPUT VARIABLE NAMED "ROTA"
shoot = function (rota) {

// INCREASES "ID" VARIABLE BY ONE TO ENSURE UNIQUENESS OF EACH ATTACHED CLIP
_root.id++;

// CREATE A NEW OBJECT CALLED "INITOBJECT"
initObject = new Object();

// GIVE IT COORDINATES ACCORDING TO THE SHOOTER
initObject._x = _x;
initObject._y = _y;

// GIVE IT A ROTATION (DEGREES) ACCORDING TO THE INPUT VARIABLE "ROTA"
initObject._rotation = rota;

// ATTACH BULLET CLIP TO INITOBJECT
_root.attachMovie("bullet", "bullet" + _root.id, _root.id, initObject);

// END "SHOOT" FUNCTION
};

// END "LOAD" FUNCTION
}

// "ENTERFRAME" REPEATS THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS WHEN CLIP IS ON STAGE
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

// IF BULLET IS NOT DELAYED LONG ENOUGH...
if (count < fdelay) {

// COUNT UP BY ONE
count++;

// OTHERWISE, IF BULLET IS DELAYED LONG ENOUGH AND SHOOT KEY IS PUSHED DOWN...
} else if (Key.isDown(shootkey)) {

// RESET COUNT
count = 0;

// SHOOT BULLETS... EXAMPLE - HERE I HAVE ONE STRAIGHT AND TWO SIDE BULLETS

shoot(0);

}

// END "ENTERFRAME" FUNCTION
}

This is the code inside the bullets movie clip
// DEFINE VARIABLES
speed = 20;
xmin = -_width;
ymin = -_height;
xmax = Stage.width + _width;
ymax = Stage.height + _height;

// "ENTERFRAME" REPEATS THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS WHEN CLIP IS ON STAGE
this.onEnterFrame = function() {

// TRAVEL ACCORDING TO ROTATION
_x += speed * Math.sin(_rotation * Math.PI / 180);
_y -= speed * Math.cos(_rotation * Math.PI / 180);

// REMOVE ITSELF WHEN IT GETS OFFSTAGE
if (_x < xmin || _x > xmax || _y < ymin || _y > ymax) {
this.removeMovieClip();
}

// END "ENTERFRAME" FUNCTION
};

if(this.hitTest(_root.enemigo)){
//direccion de la animacion
_root.enemigo.nextFrame();
unloadMovie(this);

}
