Also @Billy
I changed the script to have more bullets on the screen by changing line 4
(if (random(10) = 0) {
and adding more numbers in there, so instead of just checking to see if it equaled 0, I did
(if (random(10) = 0 || 1 || 2 || 3) {

But you also need to change where they start. Right now the last variable in line 5 (attachMovie("Bullet...) is this : _y:Stage.height which says to attach the new clip at y:400 (or whatever the height of your movie is) You need to change that to _y:0 if you want it to start at the very top, and then fall. I hope that made sense. Also, great tutorial! I tried doing this on my own and I'm sure it wasn't nearly as clean as your script :) @Billy
You would want to change that line :
_root[”b”+n]._y -= 20;
to
_root[”b”+n]._y += 20;
so that they move downwards.

"_root["b" n]._y -= 20;" I changed the (y-=20) to (y =20) to make them descend but as the bullets start at the bottom they fall already out of site. Also how do you increase the number of bullet on screen? Many thanks. How would you make the bullets start at the top and fall down.

“_root[”b” n]._y -= 20;”

I changed the (y-=20) to (y =20) to make them descend but as the bullets start at the bottom they fall already out of site.

Also how do you increase the number of bullet on screen?

Many thanks.

I put the same code as you put there but it didn't work! is it my version of flash? my version is flash 8 professional or is it the registation point of the spaceship? please reply! because this problem stopped me from finishing my game! i was nearly finished!

I guess I should of seen it was in the other code, though. ^_^ Feel a bit foolish. Thanks for your help! Works great!

I want to say thank you for everything you've done. I'm currently making a tiny flash game based on two or three of your tutorials where you fly a helicopter (bound to the mouse) and you dodge bullets (I used the code in this tutorial) The problem I'm having is I can't get the bullets to blow up the helicopter. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but if you don't have time, that's understandable as well. Thanks for everything. ~Bryson Hey Awesty,
