Ha, it's still my badly written tutorial that's at fault! In the createTiles method of the bitmapGenerator, where it loops though the image dividing it into rectangles, the bitmapArray is being reset every time a new row is started. This is the correct method, with the change marked with a comment.

public function createTiles(clipRef:String, totW:Number, totH:Number, tileX:Number, tileY:Number):Array {

	trace("creating bitmaps");

	var mainImage:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(clipRef);

	tileW = mainImage.width/tileX;
	tileH = mainImage.height/tileY;
		
	bitmapArray = new Array();
	for (var i:Number = 0; i<tileX; i++) {

		bitmapArray[i] = new Array();  // ***** This line was missing a [i]

		for (var n:Number = 0; n<tileY; n++) {
			var tempData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(tileW, tileH);
			var tempRect = new Rectangle((tileW*i), (tileH*n), tileW, tileH);
			tempData.copyPixels(mainImage,tempRect,new Point(0, 0));
				
			bitmapArray[i][n] = tempData;
		}
	}
		
	return bitmapArray;

}

Sorry for the hassle, and for the badly written tutorial

I copy pasted the code from above.
The image does show now, but the pieces don't stay inside of the rectangle....
I made a screenshot of this.



I'm sorry to keep bothering you with this XD;

The problem comes when you change the number of finishes above 10.

Hopefully, thehat can help?

I found an error in the slidingPuzzleMain class that once fixed does the trick and the game works.

go to the createTiles() method

in the first for loop (for every tile on the x axis), the y axis arrays are not initalized correctly. Basically it was just re-initializing the tiles array over and over.

Also, at the end of the createTiles() method, there is a call to jumble(). Thats all good, but there is a method that needs to be called before that to enable all the movie clips. resetPuzzle() calls jumble() and also enables the movie clips, so I replaced jumble with resetPuzzle.

 private function createTiles():Void {
				
				var tileID:Number = 0;
				
				tiles = new Array();
				//for every tile on the x axis
				for (var i:Number = 0; i < tilesX; i++) {
						
					   /***REPLACE ORIGINAL LINE WITH THIS ONE****/
					   tiles[i] = new Array();
					   
					   //for every tile on the y axis
						for (var n:Number = 0; n < tilesY; n++) {
								
								var tempMC:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("tile"+tileID,this.getNextHighestDepth());
							tiles[i][n] = new  slidingPuzzleTile(tempMC,bitmaps[i][n],tileID,i,n,borderCol,borderWidth,borderAlpha);
								tiles[i][n].addEventListener("onTileClicked",this);
								tempMC._x = tempMC._width * i;
								tempMC._y = tempMC._height * n;
								tileID++;
								
						}
						
				}
				
				// remove the last tile to create the required empty square
				tiles[tiles.length-1][tiles[tiles.length-1].length-1].targMC.removeMovieClip();
				tiles[tiles.length-1][tiles[tiles.length-1].length-1] = "empty";
				
				//jumble and reset the puzzle
				resetPuzzle();
				
		}

Check out my reply 1 post above yours. It fixes that problem.

There still exists a problem where sometimes the jumbling will cause a piece to fly off the page, but I haven't figured that one out yet.

Hey there.

Im using flash CS4, im not entireely sure how to make that empty movie clip to a component and get the parameters?

when i right click on puzzle, then go to properties then click "export for actionscript" and then i want to place the "com.slidingPuzzleMain" in class, it wont let me and it says that i need to do it in AS3. but i really need to do this in AS2.

a little help please?

thanks.

If you edit your document publishing properties, you can change the ActionScript version to 2.0. In CS4 goto to File > Publish Settings > and there should be a tab that will take you to the ActionScript version.

It is the function Tween() which cause the problem

Call Disablebuttons() before jumble()

Then bypass function Tween() in doTween() by checking targMC.enabled
