Calculating weapon range in a game

Hi,

I'd like to ideally have a movieclip and calculate either the radius around the movieclip based on the range of the weapon or, if I have to, the number of squares ahead of the movieclip corresponding to the range of the weapon. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks.

if there are few objects on-stage, loop through the objects of interest and see if any are in requisite proximity of your weapon. if there are many objects of interest you should probably use a proximity manager class to partition your stage, allocate your objects to the partition and check for objects in the partitions in the requisite proximity of your weapon.
