So you are making a piCross clone and are at the point where you need to display the row and column information. Here’s a quick example of how it’s done.  Just adapt it to your project.

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;

public class temp extends Sprite
{
public var tf:TextField = new TextField();
public var a:Array = new Array();
public function temp()
{
var fa:Array = new Array();
var st:String = new String();
a = [1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1];
addChild(tf);
fa = aGetRow(a);
for(var i:int = 1; i<fa[0]+1;i++){
st = st + String(fa[i]) + " ";
}
tf.text = st;
}

public function aGetRow(rArray:Array):Array{

var ta:Array = new Array();  //temp array
var tp:int = 0;                          //holds the temp array position
var spos:int = 0;                      //start position
var cnt:int = 0;                        //size of each section

while(spos < 15){                 //max grid length is 15
if(rArray[spos]==1){         //found start of a section
while(rArray[spos]==1){ //count how many are in current section
cnt++;                                //inc the current section counter
spos++;                             //inc the main array postion
}
ta[tp+1] = cnt;  //fill temp array except first position
tp++;                 //inc temp array position
cnt = 0;             //reset counter
}
spos++;             //inc main array position
ta[0]=tp;          //how many sections
}
return ta;
}
}
}
