jigsaw puzzle game

[kellie]

I would like some help with jigsaw scripting.
I want the pieces to snap into place and then and merge into a smooth finished picture when it is done and then play a animation.
Please help I cant get the pieces to snap into place and then merge the puzzle has completed. Does anyone have some cool code for this
cheers kellie

for snaping u just make the hitTest() absolute, like

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(piece1._x,piece1._y,true){
this._x = piece1._x
this._y = piece1._y
}
}

and if u r doing the drag thing on the mc, u could stop the drag then

thanks farafiro

Please be patient with me, in the code where you have
piece1 I am guessing that that is the instance name that you have given your piece and then for the x and y values does this mean that Each piece has a registration point that lines up with the dead centre of the stage?

yes, u make all of your pieces movie clips. So the all have a registration pont (_x/_y).
Then, we also make our board into pieces as holders for the puzzles, and attach the code that I gave u to it

I am doin a jigsaw puzzle as just a fun project to do.

I have made everything work the way i want except for two things.

I have a timer which I want to start when a certain button is pressed. Right now it starts cound as soon as you open the file, but only appears when you press the button.

Also the way i have my pieces set up is each actuall piece is piece#_mc, and it snaps into place when it has the same x/y coordinates as target#_mc.

I was wandering if anyone knew of how to make it where once all the pieces have attached to there target (puzzle is finished). it goes to another frame/scene.

thanx in advance
