Flash Question [Solved]

Hello all, just curious if there might be a way to load different parts of an image from a single file in flash rather than having a single file for each sprite and tile used. I've been doing a bit of searching around for an answer but I can't seem to find anything at the moment.

For example would it be possible to single out different tiles from a tilesheet and use them in a game instead of having to have a separate file for each tile?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Solved, using the FlashPunk package and this tutorial: http://flashpunk.net/?p=tutorials&t=12

Re: Flash Question

You could break them up into a movie clip and use the gotoAndStop() method to get the appropriate tile.  They'll all be in one movieclip on their own frame, but this still requires you to break the tileset up by hand.  I'm not sure if there's any means of processing an image in Flash, but you really think there would be.

Re: Flash Question

you should give it a try to flixel and mappy, mappy is a tiling program that can be used on almost all gamemaking programs, I have seen it used on flash, flixel in the other hand is a flash game making program, that facilitates the use of sprites and maps into it:

Been away for a bit and forgot to check back for a response

Anyway, thanks guys, I checked out Flixel and it led me to a package named FlashPunk, which allows exactly what I needed and has a lot of good tutorials.

Thanks for the help.
