does anyone know how to do the dissolve box effect using actionscript?  
random box appear until the big box is full

i made this using frame by frame, but its kind of big in size compare if it can be done using AS.

well, i’m not the greatest with actionscript, but i found something that might do a similar purpose. [http://www.levitated.net/daily/levBoxFitting.html](http://www.levitated.net/daily/levBoxFitting.html) download the fla and play around with the action script till you get what you want

umm. yea thers a what to do this  
let me think im kind of new too flash  
but  
you could like Make an MC thats a square then link it for actionscripting  
then like put a code in like this  
(its not tested)  
[AS]  
onEnterFrame=function(){  
num++;  
Mc=attachMovie(“square”,“square”+num,num);  
Mc.\_x=Math.round(Math.random()\*boxwidth/squaresize)\*squaresize;  
Mc.\_y=Math.round(Math.random()\*boxheight/squaresize)\*squaresize;  
/_boxwidth and height are the size of tha area you what to put your MC in and square size  
is like the leangth of your square_/  
};  
[/AS]  
umm you would also what to put some hittest function in there so the MC wont stack up on top of each other

thats preety much the same thing as mine but  
you dont want to waste processing power by stacking  
MC on top of each other i would help with that  
,but im still trying to get a grasp of AS myself

I didnt get your “you dont want to waste processing power by stacking MC on top of each other”, since im using only 700 boxes and yours is a never ending looping. I think mine is less precessor intensive. :-  
Im sure theres a better way to use less boxes, but right now im stucked.

hey i got some help (marshdabeachy helped me  
on the bit-101 forums)  
heres the code  
[AS]slots = [];  
for (var x=0; x\<12; x++) {  
for (var y=0; y\<8; y++) {  
slots.push({x:x, y:y});  
}  
}  
depth = 0;  
onEnterFrame=function(){  
var toUse = Math.floor(Math.random()_slots.length);  
var s = attachMovie(“square”, “square”+depth, depth);  
s.\_alpha = 50;  
s.\_x = slots[toUse].x_50;  
s.\_y = slots[toUse].y\*50;  
slots.splice(toUse, 1);  
depth++;  
}; [/AS]
