This screen-cast is Part 6 of the Action Script 3 Game Programming series, where I show you how to create and load tile maps into your Flash application. Youre watching Chapter 1 of 6, which is a short tutorial on how to use the freeware TaT Tile Map Editor by Tomi Tilli

kotisivu.dnainternet.net/ttilli/tilemapeditor/main.htm

This tutorial is designed for you to install the relevant software and follow along precisely at each step. I've also made a point of using only platform-neutral software such as:

TaT Tile Map Editor (Java, free)
Adobe Flex Builder (now known as Flash builder, also a Java program, trial available)
Adobe Flex SDK (cross-platform, free)
Mozilla Firefox (multi-platform, free)

All of the above software is either free, open-source, or has a trial version that you can use to learn the basic techniques above and decide whether you want to purchase it. This is also a pure code tutorial, which means that you could technically use the Flex SDK to compile this program and not have to pay a cent.
