hi,

i’m fiddling about with tile based games at the moment and am working from the super good tonypa tutorials. i’d like to change the source code a bit so that i can play about with placing items onto the tile grid dynamically but need some help! 🙂

[tile\_dev2.fla](http://www.afriendcalledben.com/tile_dev2.fla)

i’ve linked to the source file and would basically like some help to change a value in the map array so that it change the graphic displayed on the screen using a button or keypress maybe? i have a detectKey function working on the stage that is used to control the movement of the little birdy character i made. also maybe a function the change the character displayed on the screen (there are four of the little guys 🙂

thanks you guys are totally ace.
