I have two movieclips on _root, one is colorbox and the other is boxoff.
My goal is two create an 8 x 8 grid, with both boxoff and colorbox.
I need colorbox to sit behind the boxoff boxes. So that boxoff is clickable.
I’m having a few problems, first there is no box being shown at position 0, and the second is I can’t get boxoff to display above colorbox.
xgridlines = 9;
ygridlines = 9;
distance = 35;
totalboxes = xgridlines * ygridlines;
setProperty ("boxoff", _visible, false);
k = 0;
for (j=1; j<=xgridlines-1; j++) {
for (i=1; i<=ygridlines-1; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip ("boxoff", "boxoff"+k, k);
duplicateMovieClip ("colorbox", "colorbox"+k, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
setProperty ("colorbox"+k, _x, distance*i);
setProperty ("colorbox"+k, _y, distance*j);
setProperty ("boxoff"+k, _x, distance*i);
setProperty ("boxoff"+k, _y, distance*j);
this["color_"+k] = new Color("colorbox"+k);
iColor = "0xFF0000";
eval("color_"+k).setRGB(iColor);
k++;
}
}
for(var i=0;i<totalboxes;i++){
_root.attachMovie("boxoff", "boxoff"+i, i);
_root["boxoff"+i].onRelease = function(){
trace(this._name);
//this.removeMovieClip();
};
}
