    <p>I've been working on a simple game in AS3, but I can't seem to add in movement for the different types of enemies. So far it only works for 1 enemy type:</p> <p>enemyType1 is the enemy movieclip.</p> <pre><code>var enemyType1:EnemyType1 = new EnemyType1(0, 0); var enemies:Array = new Array(); </code></pre> <p>And in my game loop, I randomly spawn the enemies and have a for loop, which loops through all the enemies, and performs the movement for each enemy. </p> <pre><code>if(Math.random() &lt; 0.5) { var newEnemyType1 = new EnemyType1(0, 0); enemies.push(newEnemyType1); addChild(newEnemyType1); } for (var i:int = 0; i &lt; enemies.length; i++) { //Movement } </code></pre> <p>The problem comes when creating different types of enemies and determining which enemy type the enemy is, so that the correct type of movement will be used. This becomes:</p> <pre><code>var enemyType1:EnemyType1 = new EnemyType1(0, 0); var enemyType2:EnemyType2 = new EnemyType2(0, 0); var enemies:Array = new Array(); </code></pre> <p>And in the game loop:</p> <pre><code>if(Math.random() &lt; 0.5) { var newEnemyType1 = new EnemyType1(0, 0); enemies.push(newEnemyType1); addChild(newEnemyType1); var newEnemyType2 = new EnemyType2(0, 0); enemies.push(newEnemyType2); addChild(newEnemyType2); } for (var i:int = 0; i &lt; enemies.length; i++) { if(enemies[i] == EnemyType1) { //EnemyType1 Movement } else if(enemies[i] == EnemyType2) { //EnemyType2 Movement } } </code></pre> <p>Except it doesn't work. I can't recognize enemies[i] for being an object. I have also looked at multidimensional arrays for each enemy type, but couldn't get it to work.</p> <p>So the question is, how can I detect for a specific object in an array? Or is this completely the wrong way to go about controlling multiple enemy types?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
