AS3 Shuffle Grid Class › Drag & Drop Shuffle Grid Menu System. Drag & Drop the images to shuffle them around… A friend of mine, Dale Sattler over at No Ponies recently posted a grid sorting class.
He said it was based on my old dynamic stacking menu; but that was pure modesty as his script is based on a 2D grid and much more sophisticated. Anyway – it inspired me to create a grid sorting / shuffling algorithm of my own. It behaves differently to Dales but I think it works pretty well. The basic logic of the algorithm works by determining how far a dragged item travels along the grid (rows and columns) and then shuffling the surrounding items in the opposite direction by these values, therefore creating space for the dragged item to slot into when released. 15 Detailed Expert Tutorials for ActionScript 3.

Scaling an image – resizing a Bitmap. When a bitmap (image) is reduced by using the methods scaleX and scaleY or width and height, the same bitmap seems to have changed but the size really does not . This is because the BitmapData of the image has remained the same , then the weight and memory are same even if we had scaled down the image to 10%. To resize and then actually gain weight and memory we must use the draw method of BitmapData class (of which we have already seen an example ) and the Matrix class .
