Hi again, I’d like to use to start of your code to set up a matching game instead, how would I change it to instead of a set grid where every row has the same number of hexagons but each row has alternate hexagons. i.e. row 1 has 6 hexagons then row 2 has 5, then back to 6 again and so on.

I’ve tried to set up an if statement but i can’t seem to get it to work. Thanks in advance for any help you’d give me

I’ve running this but it wouldn’t compile, something about 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: hhexagon and 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method hhexagon. I’ve no idea what that means and any help would be apprieciated. Thanks.

Great site btw

I also tried to manipulate the container object:
var hexagon_container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
hexagon_container.x = 116;
hexagon_container.y = 26;
addChild(hexagon_container);

but still the mouseover dont follow correctly

Great script thx alot for it.

Is it possible to place in a container of some sort so the hex grid can be centered in a stage?
I was able to make the grid draw in a different place by adjusting the “var hexagon_x_position:Number” and “var hexagon_y_position:Number” but the mouseover dont follow. Where should I adjust so the mouseover matches the grid?

In advance thx for your reply to a total newbee to AS3.

with this code you can find any tile relative to the one your mouse is on, that could be great for puzzle games!
