ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Grid Spaces In A Grid?
Jun 24, 2008
I'm building a small editor that allows users to place electrical components onto a grid so that they can see how electricity works. I have built a grid using an array and for loops and attach movieclips dynamically to that grid. What I want the moviclips to do is to look in the four spaces either side of itself i.e. up, down,left and right.I have managed to pull the grid coordinates out of the grid which enables me to tell the clip which grid space to look at but have been unable to successfully get the code to work.Here is my code:
myGrid = [[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],[code]....

I'm currently working with the OLAPDataGrid component and got stuck at a relatively simple task: I want to style the last row of the grid differently from the rest, so my cell item renderer needs to know whether he's rendering the last row with content in the overall grid, including those rows currently not rendered because they are outside the visible grid space. AdvancedGridListData's rowIndex property only gets me the row index of the renderer relative to the range of visible grid rows, i.e. when I scroll down the grid, a data item with an index greater than 0 gets the rpw index = 0.

I need to create a simple multiplication grid where children will fill the grid. Its an empty grid at the begining, when they start the time start as well.Its a grid of 10 x 10. when they enter the last number, the grid should show what they did wrong and the time they spend. It's an idea of how it could work but if anyone has something that looks like this.

I want to make a square grid of fixed side length but varying grid number using code.That is, the number of grids should be specified by the user (say 3*3) and after pressing a button, the stage should be broken into 3*3 grids.I don't want any code, just a method on how to do it. I have tried it by using simple loops but the method just fails for no reason I can figure.

Whenever I add paddingRight to a column in the flex grid, it adds the padding to the header as well.Is anyone familiar with how I can add paddingRight just to the column and not to the header? Below is the column code where I was specifying the padding.
<mx:DataGridColumn width="60" headerText="Type" dataField="Grade" headerStyleName="headerLeft" textAlign="left" draggable="false" resizable="false" headerRenderer="GridHeaderRenderer" paddingRight="5"/>

I really like the thumbnail gallery for its simplicity and beauty. But I would like to ad or vertical scroller (I'm unable to find it here too, maybe I'm blind, just I'm more at the end of my seeking options) or a make a grid thumbnails, that will show 2 columns of thumbs and 5 pictures in each columns, then under the 2 columns i would like to ad a sort of arrow or button that if my gallery have more then 10 pictures it will go on the next thumbnail list. I'm not looking for any extra fading effects or special movements. Just would love to have a single thumbnail grid on side, with option to have lists of thumbnails by 10 if there is more then 10 pictures or so.

I'm trying to code the snap to grid functionality. The dragged object should snap to the grid if the distance between the object bounds and a grid line is less than 5px. I found a way to do it if the object's rotation is 0 but it doesn't work if I rotate the object. I need a different approach. Can you point me into the right direction with the algorythm or any source code?

I want to create a website displaying grid-sorted videos (interviews - movies showed in rows and columns). I want it to be 'a page with talking heads'. When users clicks on a video it starts playing. I consider two ways:
The whole website made in flash - dynamically assigned number of videos per row/column and page, depending on the user's screen resolution. Website made in php/html with help of JS and CSS - videos are displayed by YouTube player or other player e.g. JW Player - videos position depends on screen resolution.

i have a grid of thumbnails (i loop through an xml file to create and display) this is working perfectly.I can trace out click commands on the MCs and load in an image just as you'd want to.I load the image into a thumbMC i created with some additional symbols in...Then i started thinking, it would be nice to have some kind of preloader for each image/thumbnail.I've implemented a MovieClipLoader and this is quite happily loading in the images and reporting when the load is complete, however i am completely unable to target my preloader symbols within this function, so am unable to either control the width of a loadbar, and also show/hide a loadLoop while the image loads.

Right now I have need of several 56x5 grids of very simple information (0-9) in each slot-- I am just wondering what the most space-saving/easiest way of doing this is?
I could very easily make arrays for each grid, but it would take a lot of space. In the past when I had a similar problem and a lot of time on my hands I created (by hand) png files where each pixel had a separate color based on the information in that spot. I think this is a very good space saver but is very time consuming to create..
Is there a better option? Or is there an easy way to create the png files without wasting so much time painting them by hand?

I want to make an area where I can make a grid of varying colors, starting with a small 3x3 grid. The final goal is to reduce the size of each element and increase the number of squares to get a higher resolution. The shades of color are stored in an array and I can get the drawing going, but the shapes don't get deleted when repeating the function call and they go on top of everything else I've put on the stage.
Here is part of the code I'm using:
Code: Select allfunction grids():void {
for(var i:Number = 0; i<3; i++) {
for(var j:Number = 1; j<3; j++) {
var child:Shape = new Shape();
[Code]....
where w is the width, h is the height, and myArray has the shading I need.
How can I get rid of the rectangles afterwards and start clean? Better yet, is there a more efficient way to make and color a grid on the stage?

What I'm wondering and seeking is a way to duplicate each dot in the grid one after another, rather then all at once. I was wondering if it would possible to also control the speed at which they are created.

I'm creating a grid and I can place everything in nice columns but how to create a new row.
Code:
var numColumns:Number = 7;
var columnWidth:Number = Stage.width/7;
var numRows:Number = 6;
var rowHeight:Number = Stage.height/6;
var firstDay:Number = 1;
[Code] .....
How do I go about creating a new row in that 'if' statement? I don't want to hardcode any values in there.

What is the most efficient method for displaying dynamically loaded thumbnails in a grid? I have 29 thumbs and would like to display them in three or four rows by three or four columns and have them scroll/ slide left and rightuld make this happen? No fancy flyins, rollover effects or any other bells and whistles. Just thumbnails on a grid that can move left and right.

All I want to make a grid with movieClip. But I can't make no matter how much time I have used exploring and trying. I have 2 movieClips and button
1 - mc_main
2 - Row
Both movieClips are linked to classes. mc_main is on stage its a small dot. When I press button a new instance of Row should be attached to mc_main and should append.
PHP Code:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class Main extends MovieClip {

I'm trying to do a transition that you've probably seen many times. Transitioning one image to another using a grid of squares where each square fades at a slightly different time.I've made a complex movie clip made up of several other movie clips with all the squares fading at the rate I'm looking at. When I just play the color squares it works fine, but the minute I turn that master movie clip into a mask for the image I loose the transition/fade completely--just an on off thing.

There's not that I can't do this, I just want the best way on how to. I want to create a grid in as3 and draggable items that snap to the grid. I guess you all know what I mean. The best way seems to create small boxes like explained in URL... Then add an addeventlistener to it that when the draggable item hits it, the x and y need to be set. Or is there an easier way?

I'm trying to load and display images (read in dynamicaly with xml) into a rectangular grid format, say, 2 rows of 3 images.
I believe I understand the nuts and bolts about xml loaders, but my code is only showing what I think is the last image:

the trace command reveals that the coordinates are indeed right on where I expect them to be... only thing is on the stage, only one image shows up. The very last one.

Im making a game, and im very new to this, so please explain as good as you can. I have started with making the background which is a simple world map. I put in script so you can scroll around the map with the arrow keys. Now this will be a wargame, so i need some kinda grid over the map, like buttons of 50x50 placed all over the map, like the board game Risk for an example, so people can fight for territory. I tried doing this with buttons but made the game file very large, and it used to much ram.
