(english is second language so i hope you get what i mean … thanks)so …im quite new to flash AS2 and i really need help on doing this onei want to make a word search game that can be customized…like i can set how many words and how many rows and columns in the grid…and the words can be diagonal/upward/downward and backwards…i really dont know how to start…can anyone help me??and I’d like to make a row of blocks that I can select by dragging the mouse from one point to the other. You can only select the blocks perfectly up, down, or diagonal.  
[LIST]  
[_]Fig1) The user has dragged from one corner to the other, creating a diagonal selection of the grid.  
[_]  
[\*]Fig2) The user has dragged past diagonal, so a third block isn’t selected because it’s not sure if they want to go straight down or diagonal.Not sure how to go about this. This is a pretty complex interaction for me. Any tips or a point in the right direction would help.
