Question

Basically I’m working on a new game and have decided to come up with the idea of having different enemies – however would I have to create multiple symbol’s for these enemies or can I use that one symbol and change the image that is loaded onto it?

If yes – how would I go about doing this?

Currently the symbol is known as Enemy

Answer 1

Your symbol must be movie clip. In each frame there are different images and added by label. to change the enemy you can call:

Enemy.gotoAndStop(labels)// use Enemy.gotoAndPlay(labels) if you want the animated ones.

with labels is a string.
