Making Games With FlashPunk: Episode 3 - Using Tilemaps and Grids

I cover adding setting up a Tilemap to represent the tiles your player will walk on, and creating a Grid to provide collision data. Additionally, I begin explaining how collision is handled with a Grid.

For anyone that needs it, I assume it's basically this:

public class Assets extends Entity { [Embed(source = '../assets/tiles.gif')] static public const SPRITE_TILESET:Class;

What is ASSETS?

It's a variable that refers to the embedded image. (see @Kablasto comment below)

Flashpunk version changed, methods also changed:

setRegion -> is now setRect

setCell -> is now setTile

I guess it was done to maintain naming consistency across the toolkit, which I completely understand.

Hey Zach. I really like your Tutorials and I appreciate them a lot. I would like to know why you changed so much code for the movement and collision update between video 2 and 3 and didn't bother to show it to us. As I tried to recreate every parts of code that were visible during the video, I ran into some errors and would like to know how to fix them. Is there any chance you will show us what exact changes you made and why? Thanks.

Why didn't you include the part where you created the assets class? Seems like a crucial bit.
