Symbol as parameter

Hey guys,

I have a function which takes two MovieClips as parameters to detect collision between two things. How could I make it so that one of the parameters is ALL the instances of a certain symbol on the stage.

So if I make 10 instances of an Enemy symbol, how would I make that function check for collision between player and enemies without typing the collision code out 10 times for each enemy instance?

Thanks

There are a few ways you could approach it.  One way would be to store references to the instances in an array and then have a looping function that goes thru each element of the array one after another.
