Fading grids

here’s an effect i made that is to do with fading grids - hopefully this will help someone. i know there’s a lot of people wondering how to code this.

i made the code very easy to adapt for yourself to use so please enjoy :slight_smile: here is a basic example of one:

here’s some replacement functions. they’re the first ones that i made. not nearly as nice, but you can have a look:

MovieClip.prototype.createGrid = function(x1:Number, x2:Number, y1:Number, y2:Number) {
	x = x1;
	y = y1;
	_root.handle.onEnterFrame = function() {
		tile = _root.attachMovie("tile", "tile_"+x+"_"+y, objCount);
		objCount++;
		tile._x = x*width;
		tile._y = y*height;
		tile._alpha = 0;
		tile.fadeIn();
		//
		x++;
		if (x>x2) {
			x = x1;
			y++;
			if (y>y2) {
				delete _root.handle.onEnterFrame;
				doneAction();
			}
		}
	};
};
MovieClip.prototype.destroyGrid = function(x1:Number, x2:Number, y1:Number, y2:Number) {
	x = x2;
	y = y2;
	_root.handle.onEnterFrame = function() {
		tile = _root["tile_"+x+"_"+y];
		tile.fadeOut();
		x--;
		if (x<x1) {
			x = x2;
			y--;
			if (y<y1) {
				delete _root.handle.onEnterFrame;
				doneAction();
			}
		}
	};
};
