I want to create an interactive grid, and then I want to “move” among it, one unit at the time, in any direction. I want to be able to use both diagonals as well. How should I approach this problem?  
Do I need some actionScript?  
Help…

Example grid, and some “moves”:

You’ll definitely need Actionscripting for this.

I’m not really sure what you want to accomplish. But, I think you should dive into trying out different ways to do what you want, then if you get stuck, then ask a more specific question. An answer to your question now could be very long.
