Hello, i'm creating a game with Director using Lingo. Basically its a game which has targets moving down the screen at random horizontal positions. Currently i have 5 target sprites with the script below attached to each of them. I want to make the same thing but only use 1 target sprite however i'm not sure how to go about this. I want targets randomly being created at a random intial vertical location then for them to go down the screen. You'll see what i mean in the link to the game below. Thanks any help is appreciated even some pseudocode on how i would go about solving this problem would be useful.
Thanks Graham.

Lingo script currently attached to 5 target sprites:
property pSprite, pVInitLoc, pHInitLoc, pEndLoc, pSpeed
on beginSprite me
pSprite=sprite(me.spritenum)
pVInitLoc=-50
pEndLoc=650
pSpeed=random(1,4)
pSprite.locV=pVInitLoc
pSprite.locH=(random(10)*50)-25
end
on exitFrame me
pSprite.locv=pSprite.locv+pSpeed
if pSprite.locV>pEndLoc then
pHInitLoc=(random(10)*50)-25
pSpeed=random(1,4)
pSprite.locV=pVInitLoc
pSprite.locH=pHInitLoc
end if
end
