Nice! You could have add some colour though...

And I've seen it was your birthday recently so Happy Birthday :)

[sinfiniti]

why thank you very much! i am going to add color in a little bit, i just thought i'd post the code so maybe someone out there will modify it for something else.

i put it in html and for some reason it worked locally but not from the server....very strange.

ok, i got lazy and actually made a movie clip with a button in it!

move the mouse over the grid. when you roll over 2 movie clips they switch places. also, the most recent movies to be triggered are always on top.

ok, i tried to make an interesting grid with no library objects and less than 20 lines of code and here is what i came up with.

there are 17 lines of actual code and no library objects. just click to clear the screen and start over.

looks awesome =)

an extension of the file above. uses the same functions with a bit more sophistication and versatility. still no library objects and nothing drawn on the stage.

this file is a good example of how to dynamically create buttons and define their actions - as well as change those actions depending upon events and properties.

Nice work...

I hardly know any action scripting, But looking at these entries which are totally action scripting I see it can do som pretty cool stuff, thx for the inspiration everyone. I going to read Ilyas' tutorial on grids now. =)

here is a 3d grid. there are library objects, so i will be changing the file to remove those.

BEWARE! this swf will bog down slower machines, so if you're not running P3/Athlon 500mhz or higher you might not see much - at least it won't work very quickly. if you're running the flash 5 player i suggest not viewing this swf until you get the newest version of the player.
the next version won't even run on the flash 5 player due to the drawing functions i will be using.
and thanks andy! i look forward to seeing an entry from you! sometimes when you're new at something you will think of doing things in a way that others would not. please feel free to post your entries here so we can see a wider variety of skill levels and interests. just because you're new doesn't mean you shouldn't contribute. these forums are here for fun and support!
have a nice day,
jeremy

p.s. and thanks to red penguin for the awesome, yet sometimes frustrating, grid game.

@ sinfiniti : Thanks for the compliment.
