I am currently building a chinese puzzle game called tangram. I am wondering is there any method that I could do to make the movie clips to perform the "snap to grid" effect? i.e. the tangram puzzles being snapped to the pattern. I have tried to draw my own and used the "cacheAsBitmap" function to implement it, however it doesn't seems to be working. I have just written the code for building the grid, but what should I do next to make the snapping action?

I've been looking for a Snap To Grid effect like this one [URL]. It's the best one I've found so far. It's what I want to create but I want my grid to be on a 45 degree angle and I have no idea how to do that...

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 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.

How to snap a shape to an isometric grid? The grey piece is draggable and when you release it it should snap to the grid. I know how to snap it to a regular grid but to a isometric grid is imposible I think.

The app allows the user to drag images from a libray onto a grid and position the elements within the grid. The user can also drag textfields which can be edited and resized.The grid needs to have some sort of snap-to, to make it easier for the user to line up the elements. And then I need to create resize handles around both the editable text fields and the other mc's. Has anyone seen a tutorial or can anyone help me with?
1. Drag and drop with a snap to grid
2. Resize handles for mc's, and inparticular textfields
In the end, I need to be able to track all of the x and y's of the elements on stage and then be able to rebuild their layout when it is loaded in a subsequent session. I'm sure this is going to be difficult.

This is my first action script project and I'm having trouble with some positioning of movie clips that I can't work out. I'll post in the parts of the code that I think are relevant in hopes that someone may be able to see what I am missing. The problem is that according to my traces my gridSnap function should be working. The trace shows mc.y to have the correct value while the movie is running yet the mc's in question are appearing in the wrong spot (they appear at GRIDSIZE*gridNumber) in the movie. The problem only manifests itself in case one and case three, both of which should have the same code but I was only testing different approaches in case one. On with the code:

I really like the text effect Pom used in the footer contest, and would like to use the same grid-type method of creating mc letters but with a different effect. i understand how to change the parameters and shapes of the letters, but can't seem to figure out which piece of code is purely for the explosion effect. basically, i want the letters but with the 'Repel' effect from[URL] here is Pom's AS:
[AS]
cellSize=3;
radius=10;
damp=.85;

and here is the .fla using the repel effect using pre-made mc:

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.

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 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 have the code below positioned on a keyframe in the main time line which gives me a grid effect using the instance 'cube' of the MC 'cube.
gridy=30;
gridx=30;
num=0;
for (var i=0;i < 10;i++)
[code]....
The effect i want though is for the reduction in alpha to stagger from instance to instance, whereas at the moment they all fade together. Is there a way of tweeking the code i already have to achieve this staggering effect or does the whole thing need re thinking.

The tutorial I am working on is at: [URL]. I have no problem with the fade grid effect itself but... I'm trying to make one of the squares (which is a guy in the middle of a scenic landscape) visible first giving the effect that you can only see him first, then the grid squares fade in to reveal the landscape that he is standing in.
So I tried just cropping the square out in photoshop, then just placing it in the exact same spot above the original image, but everytime the movie gets to the portion in the timeline with the actionscript, the little square with the man in it disappears. I want the square with the man in it, to remain on the stage from beginning to end, as top layer.

I am trying to make a grid of photo thumbnails where the thumbnail grows when you mouse over it. Sort of like the Mac Dock effect but in a grid. [URL]I don't need to load the photos as the above sample does. And I'd be happy with an effect in which the individual thumnbail grows on mouseover, or one more like the Dock effect in which the nearby thumbnails grow too, but less.

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

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:

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.

I want to make a grid with 3 images in a row and then should the next row start. How do I that in Flex 4? Are there any controls or can you do it with the Repeater? Or am I forced to do some math on my own (modulus here we go again).

I'm using an AdvancedDataGrid in ActionScript 3/Flex 4. The grid has 5 columns: Caller Intent, Labels, Strategy, Confirmation Mode, and Confirmation Promptlet. All columns are editable except for Labels. However, if you change the Confirmation Mode value to NEVER, the next column Confirmation Promptlet becomes uneditable and is set with the value 'n/a' (this is the desired functionality).Unfortunately, the image is not clear. In the second row, I changed the Confirmation Mode value to NEVER. This is what happens when I start tabbing out of the Confirmation Mode cell:
1st Tab: Confirmation Promptlet populated with 'n/a'. I don't see anything in focus.
2nd Tab: The 5th tab from the left in the view stack (dark grey) is in focus.
3rd Tab: I don't see anything in focus.
4th Tab: The button with the green '+' (top left) is in focus.
5th Tab: The grid itself is in focus.
6th Tab: Finally I get to the Caller Intent cell of the next row (when this image was captured)
I tried setting tabEnabled="false" and tabFocusEnabled="false" for the button. I set only tabFocusEnabled="false" for the AdvancedDataGrid. But then the Tab focus starts moving to the components in the upper right panel and lower right panel.
I need to accomplish 2 things:
1. Have tabbing be contained in the grid, in the upper right panel, and in the lower right panel. Meaning tabbing should not cross from one area to another.
2. Have an uneditable field not mess up the normal tabbing behaviour.
