No.
You should put that code into the class that creates the monsters, which is you main class.

I already add the code in my main

public class monster1 extends Sprite
	{
		public var myEnemy:Array = []; // add my objects inside my array
		
		function MyEnterFrame(e:Event):void
		{
				for(var i:uint = 0; i<myEnemy.length; i++){
				myEnemy[i].moveMonster(e);
			}
		}

I also had no idea the song was remixed from a vines clip. kind of silly.

is this some kind of brain washing?! because that what it looks like!

A class that you should use instead of MovieClip.

but I don't draw a sprites using codes! I already have ready MovieClip!

Use Sprite instead of MovieClip as a super class.

What is "destory()" ?
Do you mean destroy?
Post that function!

What is Sprites ?

This is the first code that I think contain the problem:

public class monster1 extends MovieClip
	{
		var oneTurn:Number = 0;
		var speed:Number = 1;
		public function monster1()
		{
			this.width = 49;
			this.height = 45;
			addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,MoveMonster);

		}

		function MoveMonster(e:Event):void
		{
			if (this.y != 300)
			{
				this.mapPattern();
			}
		}

public function mapPattern()
		{

			if (this.x < 168 && oneTurn == 0)
			{
				this.x +=  speed;
			}

			if (this.x == 168 && this.y > -103 && oneTurn == 0)
			{
				this.y -=  speed;
			}

			if (this.y == -103 && this.x < 435)
			{
				this.x +=  speed;
			}

			if (this.x == 435 && this.y < 125)
			{
				this.y +=  speed;
			}

			if (this.y == 125 && this.x > 150)
			{
				oneTurn = 1;
				this.x -=  speed;
			}

			if (this.x == 150 && this.y < 300)
			{
				this.y +=  speed;
			}

			if (this.x == 150 && this.y == 300)
			{
				this.destory();
			}

		}

how can I allow 20 object to move smoothly?

at the beginning my object begin to move, normally just after adding my second object it slowed down any way to speed up my code!

You don't need setInterval, you already wrote out everything you need. Just push() the new thing into the array inside the timer function. The timer function IS your interval-setter.

I have created this code but it works only for 2 objects

var i:Number =0;
var m1:Array = [new monster1(),new monster1()]

var addObj:Number = 21;
var MyTimer:Timer = new Timer(2000,1);
var MyTimer_2:Timer = new Timer(1,2000);
var MyTimer_3:Timer = new Timer (1,2000);

MyTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,TimerFunction);

function Timer2Function(e:TimerEvent):void{
	MyTimer_3.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,Timer3Function);
	m1[i- m1.length + 1].mapPattern();
	
	if(m1[i-m1.length + 1].x == 70){
	MyTimer_3.start();
   	}
}

function Timer3Function(e:TimerEvent):void{
	m1[i- m1.length].mapPattern();
}

function TimerFunction(e:TimerEvent):void{
MyTimer_2.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,Timer2Function);


for(i=0; i<m1.length; i++){
enemy_contain_mc.addChild(m1[i]);
}

MyTimer_2.start();


}

MyTimer.start();

looking for 1 last animator who can complete the last animation before I close the collaboration for good any participant?!

Any one know a way to delay multiple array objects from being added into my contsiner at the same time using as3?! I failed to use the timer to it, any idea ?

Nobody denied that at any point in this thread.

You got the advice to use classes properly because it's the better way to do this.
Sadly, you ignore it.

I am not ignoring the advice it's just I don't want to use it because our teacher have not tough us yet and I can't add something we haven't study yet in the assignment it's better to stick with what the teacher want until we take classes!

For example, debug your code using trace statements in the event handler functions.

didn't I just said it already ! I HAVE FIXED IT ALREADY! Oh I Actually done these two things to find the problem which is inside my buttons! Thanks for your help but I don't need any right now! Specially that I have already complete it! if I really had another problem I will try to re-write and debug the codes!

didn't I just said I have completed this part I don't need to define class even thought it's useful! XD I don't really need to involve in classes right now because it was an assignment that I need to complete it without using anything about class just creating external class and work with it! and my codes were 100% correct! I just needed to change the movieclip that I have add inside my button into a graphic that's all! stop talking about class! I don't want to go that deep! we are in my class need to start simple stuff then get us deeper!playing with actual classes are too advanced for me right now!

That does not turn it into a valid class.
As I wrote in my previous post, dumping code into a file does not turn it into a class.
Again, understanding classes is crucial to do this.

I would have appreciated it a lot if you had given my suggestion a try.

my code was correct! the only problem was with the button I have created was using a problem because was inside a MovieClip.

It's not a class.

you don't understood the problem is that I have a movieclip called container_mc and I have another movieclip that is called rooms_info which I can call from my library using the exported class how can I call it to do my code inside room_info!

var roomclass:MovieClip = new rooms_info();

contain_mc.addChild(roomclass);

is it a wrong way to call the whole class?

You should obviously put your code into the class that you associate with the mc.
If nothing's in the class, that's what happens.
