Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
This will give you what you're looking for:
var cols:Number = 3;
var rows:Number = 3;
for(var i:Number=0;irows;i++)
{
for(var j:Number=0;jcols;j++)
{
var gridLocation:Number = (i+j) + ((rows-1)*i);
trace(grid location = + gridLocation);
// create your moviecilp
}
}
row by row, create a movieclip per column.

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
also, i released this in the red5 repository - it's a GridManager class that
you can use to draw a grid (literally or not) and gives you methods like:
1. calcGridLocation() - based on where you mouse is over the grid, you get
back a zero based grid number. So if i you have a 3x3 grid, you might get
back 4 if you're in the center piece.
2. getColRow() - based on the gridLocation number you pass in, you can get
back the column/row numbers that correspond - if you're in 4, you'd get back
2,2 (not zero based)
3. calcCenterSpot() - gives you the pixels x/y of the center of a
particular piece based on col/row you send in.
if you already have a movieclip that has your grid graphic, you just pass
that movieclip reference to initGrid() and all the calculations will be
based on that movieclip. You still have to pass in the grid's width and
height as this isn't always the size of the movieclip etc ;)
http://mirror1.cvsdude.com/trac/osflash/red5/browser/java/server/trunk/swf/DEV_Source/classes/org/red5/utils/GridManager.as
don't know if it's applicable to your scenario, but it works well for grid
based games.

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
Thanks John,
This is great! When I trace this, it works. I've applied it to my code,
and I think I have added something wrong. What happens is that all the
elements just build in a single area.
Here is what I had in the previous code:
http://www.apt11.com/test/test.html
Essentially, I need 0 to display, then 1, 14 then 2, 15, 28 and
so on.
Am I not applying your code correctly? My apologies for the bumbling and
thanks for the help.

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
well, if you're using my code, then it would essentially build all pieces
the way you show it happening in that link.
to do it diagonaly the way you specify, there's 2 ways:
1. come up with an algorithm to calculate that type of movement based on
the number of rows/cols you have (ouch)
2. create the grid first, hide all pieces. Create an array by hand with
those values, and loop that array displaying the correct pieces:
var pieceList:Array ({pieces:[0]}, {pieces: [1,14]}, {pieces:[2,15,28]});
for(var i:Number=0;ipieceList.length;i++)
{
for(var j:Number=0;jpieceList[i].pieces.length;j++)
{
this[piece_ + pieceList[i].pieces[j]._visible = true;
}
}
Either set visible to true of tell it to gotoAndPlay(transitionIn) or
whatever you have in frame lables etc.
Make sense?
