Question
Writing loops and positioning
Hi,
I am writing a loop and want to position 25 boxes in a square. I can make 5 boxes appear in a line, but can't make 25 boxes appear in a square without writing 5 seperate loops (e.g. j, k, l, m, etc.). This seems long-handed, can I shorten the code? Here is the code I have used so far:
var box:Box;
for(var i:int = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
box = new Box();
addChild(box)
box.x = 100 + i * 40;
box.y = 100;
}
