hey flash gurus i have a question i have a block that i want to snap to a tightly to 64 boxes on a "fake isometric grid "

–the boxes have instance names of snap1 snap2 snap 3 etc

–heres the code i came up with can someone help me out it isnt working for some reason the reason why i want to do it this way is because i was handcoding the xand y quardinate of each drop target now i want to make it more dynamic so i think i want one script for all the droptargets

–also it must be a for loop problem because all i want flash to do is snap to the nearest point on the grid

this.onRelease=function(){  
var snap =myarray.length;  
for(var i = 0; i\< 64; i++){  
gridName = “snap” + i;  
abs\_x = Math.abs(loc\_x-x);  
abs\_y = Math.abs(loc\_y-y);  
if (abs\_x\>28 || abs\_y\>17) {  
if (eval(this.\_droptarget) == “snap”) {  
\_x = loc\_x;  
\_y = loc\_y;  
music = new Sound();  
music.attachSound(“click6”);  
music.start(0, 1);  
setProperty(this, \_alpha, 100);  
trace(“pointsnapping”);  
}  
}

–by the way the fla file thats posted only works for the 2x2s white to give you an example of what im trying to do
