Matrix Object is an advanced script object in MMB. It contains rows and columns. We can decide how many columns & rows should it have. Every cell has own address.

Imagine you would like to create a Game board with 5 x 5 stones, On each position of the board you can have one of the 3 images or nothing. This could be a lot of work with putting simple bitmap object and then all the show - hide commands for all objects!
Image Matrix helps you do this and a lot of other projects.
The number of Columns and Rows determines the size of the Image Matrix object. You must have at least the image #1 defined. The Columns and Rows are multiplied by the image #1 width and height producing the total Matrix size.
All the 3 images should be the same size.
You can reach each cell with MatrixName[Column, Row] format.
Images?
You can use max. 4 images with the matrix object. Suppose that we have selected below images:
|
RESERVED FOR NULL IMAGE |
|
|
|
Name |
image0 |
image1 |
image2 |
image3 |
Image index |
0 |
1 |
2 |
3 |
Putting It Together...
First run MMB & open a new project. Put an image matrix to the page.
Adjust the properties.
Matrix object will be filled with default image.
