Thanks so much for your help…

Your tutorial was so helpfull but I have a question:

After I build my Grid how can I hide some of my images in the gri?? I explain myself better.

I ve a grid 10 x 10 but i want that the images at the position   x = 3 y= 4   ,    x=5 y= 6  ,     x=10 y=10,       x=1 y=1     have to be invisible. How can I select only these 4 images??

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Kind regards

In a nutshell, you need to keep track of the grid objects – putting them into a table is an easy way to do that.

As you build the grid you’ll just add each new object to the table and then you can access it later by index:

myGridObjs[14].alpha = 0

That would hide the object that’s in the 14th position.

Doing this would make a good extra video. I’ll see if I can’t whip that up this afternoon and add it to the course. But go ahead and poke at it yourself. :slight_smile:
