There are a lot of games based on different kinds of grids: Real Time Strategy (RTS) or round based Role Play Games (RPG) and Tower Defence (TD) games as well as Top-Down-Shooters and vertical scrolling Jump&Runs. One could use grids for tactical board games as well.
In the grid we are going to create, each tile consists of two parts, an Object() for the node and a MovieClip() for the graphic. The presented code is timeline and can thus be copied into the actions panel. This way it can be used for practicing purposes fast. For a game I would rather create and sort the code in classes.

This is a byproduct of a game I am actually working on. The announcement of MochiMedias latest contest ’60 seconds to fame’ led to the development of this simple match-four-type-of-game.
Right from the start this was designed to be short (60 seconds), so a game with fast progress was needed. I have tried several improvements on this one.
