5.) (after object is created) Go to FILE>NEW>ACTIONSCRIPT FILE

class Ship extends MovieClip
{
var velocity;
var shootLimiter;
var enemyTimer;
var enemies;
var score;
var health;

function onLoad()
{
velocity = 10;
shootLimiter = 0;
enemyTimer = 0;
enemies = [];
}

function onEnterFrame()
{
shootLimiter += 1;

if( Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) ){_x += velocity; }
if( Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) ){_x -= velocity; }
if( Key.isDown(Key.UP) ){_y -= velocity; }
if( Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) ){_y += velocity; }

if( Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && shootLimiter > 8)
{
shootLimiter += 0;
var missile = _root.attachMovie( "Missile" , "Missile" + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
missile._x = _x + 50;
missile._y = _y + 2;
}

enemyTimer += 1;

if(enemyTimer > 60)
{
enemyTimer = 0;
var enemy = _root.attachMovie("EnemyShip", "EnemyShip" + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
enemies.push(enemy);
}

function updateScore(points)
{
score += points;
_root.scoreText.text = score;
}

_root.ship.updateScore(50);

function resetScore()
{
score = 0;
_root.scoreText.text = score;
}

function updateHealth(points)
{
health += points;
_root.healthMeter.bar._xscale = health;
}
function resetHealth()
{
health = 100;
_root.healthMeter.bar._xscale = 100;
}
}
}



7.) Save the document as class.as in the same folder your SWF is in
