AS Tiles Help!

[Snubby]

I really hate to ask AS questions, but here ya go. I've got 'tile' in my library with 2 frames, to represent the different tiles (im making a tile engine).

I want to make a function to draw a 2-dimensional array that holds the tiles, yet WTF it doesn't work. The funny thing is I've gotten it to work many times before.

var myMap:Array = Array(
[1, 1, 1],
[1, 0, 1],
[1, 1, 1]
);
function buildMap(map)
{
for(ver = 0; ver < 3; ver ++)
{
for(hor = 0; hor < 3; hor ++)
{
_root.attachMovie("tile", "t_" + hor + "_" + ver, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["t_" + hor + "_" + ver]._x = map[ver][hor] * 30;
_root["t_" + hor + "_" + ver]._y = map[ver] * 30;
_root["t_" + hor + "_" + ver].gotoAndStop(map[ver][hor] + 1);
}
}
}
buildMap(myMap);

This is what I am getting. I really need help here, guys.

I just realized that the _x and _y setting is the problem, for this works...

myMap = [[1, 1, 1],[1, 0, 1],[1, 1, 1]];
for(var ver = 0; ver < 3; ver ++)
{
for(var hor = 0; hor < 3; hor ++)
{
_root.attachMovie("tile", "t_" + hor + "_" + ver, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["t_" + hor + "_" + ver].gotoAndStop(_root.myMap[ver][hor] + 1);
trace(myMap[ver][hor]);
}
}

So please take a look, whats wrong with these scripts?!

_root["t_" + hor + "_" + ver]._x = map[ver][hor] * 30;
_root["t_" + hor + "_" + ver]._y = map[ver] * 30;

I may be really stupif for saying this, but its early, and im tried, so.

Shouldn't it be

var map:Array = new Array ([0,0,0],[1,0,1],[0,1,0]);

I dont know if you need the new in their or not. But im tired as hell, so meh.

Nope sorry, you dont. Thanks for trying : )

Also, why is this returning NaN, NaN, NaN...

trace((myMap[hor] * 30));

I'm SO STUPID FOR MAKING THIS THREAD THE ANSWER WAS SO EASY! Please lock this thread for nobody to see!

var myMap:Array = new Array([1, 1, 1],[1, 0, 1],[1, 1, 1]);
for(j = 0; j < 3; j ++)
{
for(i = 0; i < 3; i ++)
{
attachMovie("tile", "t_" + i + "_" + j, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["t_" + i + "_" + j]._x =i * 30;
_root["t_" + i + "_" + j]._y = j * 30;
_root["t_" + i + "_" + j].gotoAndStop(_root.myMap[j][i] + 1);
}
}

i was multiplying the array!! lol!

// Here is a tile engin I used to create a brick game. Welsh Dragon helped me make it, but maybe you can look at it and it will help you. (This was made in API btw, so its gonna vary a bit)

var tileheight:Number = 20;
var tilewidth:Number = 30;
brickMap = [[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0, 0], [0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0, 0], [0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0], [0, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0], [0, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0]];

Im sorry for the double post, but wouldnt this be better? More editable anyway. But you were probably going to change it to sometihng liek this after you finished the basic engin I guess.

tW = 50;
tH = 50;
var myMap:Array = new Array([0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1], [0, 0, 0]);
for (j=0; j<myMap.length; j++) {
for (i=0; i<myMap[0].length; i++) {
attachMovie("tile", "t_"+i+"_"+j, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["t_"+i+"_"+j]._x = i*tW;
_root["t_"+i+"_"+j]._y = j*tH;
_root["t_"+i+"_"+j].gotoAndStop(_root.myMa
p[j][i]+1);
_root["t_"+i+"_"+j]._width = tW;
_root["t_"+i+"_"+j]._height = tH;
}
}
