Firstly, I have no idea which forum this would go best in so if you're a moderator then feel free to move it somewhere you consider more appropriate.
Right, now on with my problem. I have built a snap to grid feature in Flash. The problem is that the grid itself is diagonal and I can't get the maths right to position the tiles properly on the grid. While they currently snap in a simple rectangular based fashion they do not fit into the grid.
See what I mean by looking here: http://www.ninjakannon.frih.net/random/SnapToGrid.swf (File removed). Drag around the items (click and hold) and see how they interlock. Remember that I would like to be able to use any size of tile.
I've uploaded 3 Flash files here if you'd like to use them:
• Flash 6 (File removed)
• Flash 7 (File removed)
• Flash 8 (File removed)
I'm sorry I haven't given any more input here but I'm pretty sure some of you out there will have the mathematical skill required for this - it can't be that tricky either, can it? I just know that I can't do it - but I'll keep trying.
Thank you so much for any help you give!
