Hello all,

I am making a tile based game using the [gotoAndStop technique](http://oos.moxiecode.com/tut_04/index.html).

My game is going to be a virtual forest where you can plant your tree. Right now I’ve made the map by loading and parsing an xml file and i can scroll left and right using the gotoAndStop technique.

I wonder what is the best way to load the trees

Thanks in advance.
