Jigsaw Puzzle v2.0

This usefull gig is a Macromedia Flash MX 2004 UI Component packed as Extension by someFrogs.com. As a difference from the classic jigsaw puzzle applications for Flash, Jigsaw Puzzle v2.0 recognizes the neighbour pieces put near in right direction and then groups them. This makes the game more real and more fascinating. With this easy to use and customisible tool you can build your own puzzles that can satisfy your caprisious puzzle freak visitors.

The Component is written in ActionScript 2.0 and extends Macromedia's UIComponent Class. It can render any Symbol in the Library, marked as "Export for ActionSript", accessing the Symbol with its Library Identifier Name at runtime. It supports: Adjustable pieces resolution - 4(2x2) up to 144(12x12) and any multiplies of nubers between 2 and 12; Rotation of pieces using space bar (optional); Methods allowing to change the picture source, resolution, rotation option, start-restart the puzzle; select one of 5 different shape styles; Event "done" to handle what to do when the puzzle is finished; and inherits all Methods and Event from UIComponent. 

Instalation
JigsawPuzle is packed as an extension for Macromedia Flash MX 2004. You need Macromedia Flash MX 2004 or later and Macromedia Extension Manager installed on your computer. See www.macromedia.com/downloads if you don't have those applications installed.
Doubleclick on the mxp file you've downloaded and start or restart Flash if it is already running. In Macromedia Flash select "Componets" from "Window">"Development Panels". In the Component Panel you can find "JigsawPuzzle" under the folder "someFrogs". This means that the component is installed and that is the place you'll find it.

Upgrade:
To upgrade the product from the free to Commercial or from older to newer version, 
first un-install the component using the Extension Manager, then install the .mxp 
file from the new package.

If you have puzzles prepared with the free version and want to update them follow these steps:

Open the source file of the puzzle. 
Drag the JigsawPuzzle Component from Components Panel to the stage. 
Flash will ask you if want to replace the existing component, Choose "Yes". If you are not asked, this is because the component was not upgraded. Check the Upgrade. 
Delete the component from the stage. Press "Ctrl+Enter" for preview. This also updates the swf file. That's it.
