problems with two "on" statements

What would I do if I wanted to combine two on statements?
I want to combine an enterFrame with an on(press) statement.

I'm creating a shooting game and am having trouble with adding a recoil effect to the scope movie clip.

Here's what I have so far:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
Mouse.hide();
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
}

on(press) {
gotoAndPlay("recoil");
}


the recoil effect works, but the on(press) action for the enemies are negated.
Each enemy has a...
on(press) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
action for their death.

How can I make it so both actions work?
