im using flash MX and im doing a tile based RPG game and my map size is 640x480 pixels, my tiles are 32x32 in size…now to make my maps im a using a 2-dimensional array to hold my tiles together…i have made two maps now and it’s starting to get confusing editing them…this is my first map in my code:

myMap1 = [  
[3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3],  
[3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3],  
[3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3],  
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],  
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,11,11,11,11,11,11,11, 1, 1, 1, 9],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 6],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 6],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,11,11,11,11,11,11,11, 1, 1, 1, 1],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,10, 5, 5, 5, 5,10, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,10, 5, 5, 5, 5,10, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],  
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,10, 5, 5, 5, 5,10, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],  
[3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3],  
[3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3]
