im trying to make some sort of "Inventory" grid where i created a small 64x64 box as a MovieClip witch gonna be an empty inventory item.

i want to duplicate it 10 to width and 6 to height.

Correct answer ASWC

have u seen the image? i AM using the same values


It seems very important for you to avoid using classes of any kind which for beginners can be understood to some extent. But here you are hitting a wall, to put it simply, if you don't use classes then you cannot do what you ask.

Classes give objects a definition, definitions can be used to duplicate/clone objects, your movie has NO definitions, your movie CANNOT be duplicated/cloned by code.

So if you stick to your question and requirements then the correct answer to your question is: impossible to do because you don't use classes.

a double for loop with a new statement inside would do it.

var htotalitems:int = 6;

var vtotalitems:int = 4;

var itemwidth:int = 64; // new MyMovie().width;

var itemheight:int = 64; // new MyMovie().height;

var xgap:int = 3;

var ygap:int = 3;

var xstart:int = 100;

var ystart:int = 200;

var xpos:int = xstart;

var ypos:int = ystart;

for(var i:int = 0; i < (htotalitems * vtotalitems); i++)

{

var movie:MyMovie = new MyMovie();

addChild(movie);

movie.x = xpos;

movie.y = ypos;

xpos += itemwidth + xgap;

if((i + 1) % htotalitems == 0)

{

xpos = xstart;

ypos += itemheight + ygap

}

}
