Hi Jim,
Are these hotspots "connected" to each other by arising from one single
function?
Like, are they equally spaced, (as on a grid), follow the perimeter of a
circle or
any other math function?
My guess would be no, so...
There can't be any way other than looping through hotspots to see if you are
near one.
One thing that might be of help though is Grand Skinner's Proximity class.
It might be able to save you lots of calculations, since you could only
check for hotspots
that are near a specified area. You might want to check that out.
Just a thought...

Subject: [Flashcoders] Q:creating a 'snappable' class
Hi
I'm creating a 'snappable' class, that would work with a predefined set of
x,y pairs or 'hotspots'.
When a dragged movieclip was within a 'offset' distance of any of these
hotspots it would 'snap to' and stop drag.
The best way of doing this I thought would be to simply pass an array of
predefined x,y pairs as an object into the class when it was instantiated.
However, having to cycle thru an array, especially if there are a huge
number of 'hotspots', while dragging doesn't seem very efficient....can
anyone suggest a better way of approaching this?
Thanks in advance
