there are no library objects, it is all code drawn.

Nice! You could have add some colour though…
And I’ve seen it was your birthday recently so Happy Birthday
why thank you very much! i am going to add color in a little bit, i just thought i’d post the code so maybe someone out there will modify it for something else.
jeremy
Thats the best ive seen so far :D.
Good job.
Dave
why thank you very much!
i added color - and there are still no library objects. just move the mouse over the grid.

i put it in html and for some reason it worked locally but not from the server…very strange.
have a nice day,

ok, i got lazy and actually made a movie clip with a button in it!
move the mouse over the grid. when you roll over 2 movie clips they switch places. also, the most recent movies to be triggered are always on top.

ok, i tried to make an interesting grid with no library objects and less than 20 lines of code and here is what i came up with.

there are 17 lines of actual code and no library objects. just click to clear the screen and start over.
jeremy
looks awesome =)
an extension of the file above. uses the same functions with a bit more sophistication and versatility. still no library objects and nothing drawn on the stage.

this file is a good example of how to dynamically create buttons and define their actions - as well as change those actions depending upon events and properties.
jeremy
Nice work…
I hardly know any action scripting, But looking at these entries which are totally action scripting I see it can do som pretty cool stuff, thx for the inspiration everyone. I going to read Ilyas’ tutorial on grids now. =)
here is a 3d grid. there are library objects, so i will be changing the file to remove those.

BEWARE! this swf will bog down slower machines, so if you’re not running P3/Athlon 500mhz or higher you might not see much - at least it won’t work very quickly. if you’re running the flash 5 player i suggest not viewing this swf until you get the newest version of the player.
the next version won’t even run on the flash 5 player due to the drawing functions i will be using.
and thanks andy! i look forward to seeing an entry from you! sometimes when you’re new at something you will think of doing things in a way that others would not. please feel free to post your entries here so we can see a wider variety of skill levels and interests. just because you’re new doesn’t mean you shouldn’t contribute. these forums are here for fun and support!
have a nice day,
jeremy
p.s. and thanks to red penguin for the awesome, yet sometimes frustrating, grid game.
@ sinfiniti : Thanks for the compliment.
