How to cut JPG in pieces?

[Jose]

I'm doing a puzzle and I want to load a JPG using this code:

createEmptyMovieClip ("Img",1);
Img.loadMovie ("Image.jpg");

Then I want to cut (dynamically) that image in small square pieces. How can
I cut it? (using "for", "width", ... ?). I want to cut it in this way
because I want the possibility of loading any image to be used in my puzzle.

Hope you can help me :)
Thank you all

Hope I understand your question.

To Cut "Slice" an image up use the guides in Photo shop. (Fire Works)

Go View guides Top and left.

Then drag the guide onto your image.
Do that over and over...

Then Export as slices...

You will get many smaller slices.

Also the Html file to put it back together.

I just did that also.

I cut a large guitar chord document into several thousand 120x130 boxes.

Hope this is what you were asking.

I know nothing about flash..

Peace...

Thanks for your help but that's not exactly what I was asking for :)
Let me explain...

I've got a big 300x300 image. I want to cut (slices) in pieces of 50x50.
Then I will have 6x6 cells in my puzzle. I know I can use Photoshop or
similar to cut the big one to create 6x6 images of 50x50 but I want
ActionScript to do it for me. I mean... some kind of code which gets a
300x300 image and return 6x6 of 50x50 images attached to scene in little
movieclips which, alltogeather, seems as the original 300x300 image.

(sorry about my english :( ... must improve, I know)

Well, I note down your explanation too. Perhaps it will help me in future
projects :)
Peace for you too.

In flash, you wouldn't literally cut the picture up, but you could duplicate
it and mask it for the same effect.

You could duplicate the movie clip the number of times as the number of
pieces you want, then resize and reposition a mask within the clip based on
the number and position of the pieces, and rearrange the pieces randomly.
Then have them snap in place at correct intervals, but not necessarily the
correct positions. For example, in a 3x3 puzzle, you'd end up with nine
duplicates of the same clip (with the jpeg in it) with a 1/3 scale mask set
at even intervals, probably based on the instance name. All it would take
after that is a simple snap-to script, and a success message when all of the
pieces are at the correct _x and _y coordinates. The number of pieces would
be easy to set up as squares of low integers, ie, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.

Sounds fun, give me a few weeks.

Mask!... that it's :)
You've got it. That's what I meant. I will try to do that. The problem will
be how to set that mask in the JPG which is being loaded inside a MovieClip
acting as a button blablabla... well. I will try too.

Let's see in a few weeks then. Thank you very much :)

Look at using a mask the size of your fragment in front of the jpeg. Then
just jostle them about in AS.
You can't cut up the jpg.
