AS2 Game making!!!

[habberjabber]

I am fairly new to actionscript and I swear I got this to work before but it isn't and i'm losing patience with it. I have been around several websites looking for a way of making an infinite number of enemies appear on screen in little chunks. Say I have an enemy who is moving along the screen and i would like 4 others moving with him. But, when one of them is killed, another enemy appears for me to hit. How would i do it?!

All you need to do is attatch an enemy to the explode function of your ship. for example, for my game I would do this in my enemy ship explode function.

function explode(){
var explosion = _root.attachMovie("RedExplode","RedExplode" + _root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth());
    explosion.speed = speed;
    explosion._x = _x;
    explosion._y = _y;
    this.removeMovieClip();
var enemy = _root.attachMovie("EnemyShip", "EnemyShip" + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());//This would make it so that a new enemy came in place of my old one. 

Thats how i would do it, but I cant say that there isnt a better way, because im sure there is.
