Hello folks,

I'm creating blocks but I want them to be numbered.

this.graphics.beginFill(1, 1);
this.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 50, 50);
this.graphics.endFill();

I've tried searching on Youtube and Google for tutorials but there wasn't anything specifically for what I'm looking for.

How do I display and have it shown as a block with a number 1 inside of it?

Seems simple but im no expert.. Possibly create a function that draws these graphics and create a textfield variable..
give the texts properties what you want them to be besides the text.. Set the X and Y Position to the boxes width and height divided by 2 so its in the box may want to subtract your textfields width... make sure the function uses parameters for the boxes X and Y position.. then possibly use a for loop ? to number and create your squares and make your text equal the value of i if you use that in your for loop? im sort of nooby but from my head this is what i thought of

package
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.events.Event;
	import flash.text.TextField;
	import flash.text.TextFormat;
	
	/**
	 * ...
	 * @author Muerte
	 */
	public class Main extends Sprite 
	{
		public var SquareCount:int = 0;
		public var SquareCountMax:int = 11;
		public var curX:int = 0;
		
		public function Main() 
		{
			for (var i:int = 1; i < SquareCountMax; i++)
			{
				if (SquareCount <= SquareCountMax)
				{
				curX = curX + 55;
				this.drawSquare(curX, 100, 50, 50, i.toString() );
				SquareCount++
				}
			}
			
		}
		
		public function drawSquare(BoxX:int, BoxY:int, BoxWidth:int, BoxHeight:int, text:String) : void {
			var textf:TextField = new TextField();
			var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
			
			this.graphics.beginFill(0xFF3322, 1);
			this.graphics.drawRect(BoxX, BoxY, BoxWidth, BoxHeight);
			this.graphics.endFill();
			
			format.size = 20;
			format.font = "Arial";
			textf.defaultTextFormat = format;
			textf.x = BoxX + BoxWidth / 2;
			textf.y = BoxY + BoxHeight / 2;
			textf.textColor = 0x000000;
			textf.text = text;
			
			addChild(textf);
			
		} 
		
	}
	
}

Sorry if i'm a bit confusing..

The image below should be your outcome
