How to create a simple board?

Hello…

I have a simple board. with a for i loop and for j loop.

works great.

I need to be able to identify each rectangle to apply properties

rect.alpha = .5

rect.x = 300 and so on

I can identify the bottom row

and each colume

but that is as far as I got

Please I need your help, and thank you for all your time.

This is all I have

local pin = {} function createBoard1()&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; for i = 1, 6 do&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for j = 1, 6 do &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local aPin = display.newRect( sceneGroup, 0, 0, 130, 40 ) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;pin[i] = aPin&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;aPin.x = 145 \* (i + .15)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aPin.y = 50 \* (j + 5.5) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aPin.myID = (i - 1) \* 6 + j &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aPin.touch = onTouch &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aPin:addEventListener( "touch" ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; end end createBoard1() pin[6].alpha = .2

In the terminal, if I touch each rect… I can see numbers 1 to 36

so each one has a number… In my touch function I can change

each of them, but I want to change them before the function

when I create the objects…
