What I’m trying to do is attach a bunch of movieclips onto my game table in a grid like pattern. But the game table is a circle. So I want to cut out all of the coordinates that are not inside the circle. I could sit there and map out all of these possible coordinates my self, but I’d rather have my actionscript do it dynamically. Anyone have a good idea on how to do this?
