Hello Everyone,

I am a noob at actionscript3, and for my learning purpose , i am trying to build a match3 kind of game. i am making is a clone of bejeweled kind of game. but instead of swapping, i have to delete those elements and shift the upper elements down and add new elements above those shifted elements. i am able to delete matched elements and after matching i m removing those elements but i am stuck with the shifting code. i am not able to shift those elements down.

please help me with this problem as soon as possible. its really very urgent. ☹

Thank you so much in advance.🙂
