For one object at a time it's quite simple, but for multiples it gets a bit more complex. Here's basically how it works:
Set mapsize (eg 20x15)
Set Start position (eg 2,5)
Set Destination (eg 10,5)
Find path
You then run a loop (try about 500 times) and on each loop move the object and advance the position.
On loop "Move"
Active.x = Pathfindingobject.x
Active.y = Pathfindingobject.y
Pathfindingobject.Advance One
This will give you an instant movement.

That is where it gets quite tricky. You can't just chuck them all in the one loop, because that doesn't work. One method is to save their paths into an array and then read them when the enemy needs to move.
This is a very good example, I think he overcompicated it however. It is also quite difficult to understand, but it works  .
