space invaders

[diablo]

I am making a space invaders game and i have the code right....
except that when the enemies spawn on the screen, my ship dissapears and after it stops(i moved it 5 times), then my ship reappeared and functioned normally.
can you help me with any code that will help me in keeping my ship on the screen and my enemies at the same time?
i am using version 4 btw

eh... a wild guess would be that you're spawning spaceships in a loop and you forgot to include player's ship inside of it..

[diablo]

im not using a loop here is my code for the spawn of the enemies:

var enemy1:int:=Pic.FileNew("picture1.jpg")
delay(200)
Pic.Draw (enemy1, 600,300, picXor)
delay(1000)
cls

....and that repeats itself 5 times and then my ship appears.

oh, I donno... You think those two might have _anything_ to do with the fact that your spaceship disappears?

[diablo]

good advice.........
but when i got rid of them nothing happened at all
could it be that they arent in a loop together?

[diablo]

the delay(#) only delays the tme that the sprite comes back on the scrreen so they dont all move at the speed of light or only appear once.
