I recently started programming in Java with NetBeans. A whole new world has opened up for me, and I think I would need to update my answer here. I managed to build some tiny text-rpg game which pulls areas and monsters from a database (in 2 days of fumbling around and googling stuff), and I have to say... Adding new stuff during runtime is even better. Not "Oh wait, I wish there were some more enemies, so let's open the editor...", but "I wish there were... " and before I'm finished muttering, I'm already done. So it's definitely being able to shape the world/application to whatever I want. I recently started programming in Java with NetBeans.

Annnnd... remember kids, ALLLLLLLLWAYS write out your question! This is a forum, so you might as well ask the same question twice (in the same post, not in different posts, cause then we will whack you) but with different wording, just so people understand you. Some kinda proper formulation for the question would be "How do I move a movieClip a specific distance at an angle?". You don't actually have to make a really good question..., just make sure all the keywords are in there: movieClip, move, angle and distance. It would have saved you 2 hours on the answer. With trickier questions, the time could be a whole day. ... postcount++ Annnnd… remember kids, ALLLLLLLLWAYS write out your question!

Uh...

Someone should make a game out of that (but it's rather hard to explain how it feels, or to come up with an idea that embodies that concept...)

Well... Assuming you want to go with tiles, you could make 2 containers... Place the tiles on container 1 The other stuff on container 2. Place moveable tiles on the board (in perhaps a third layer?) ... <pre> for(var i:Number = 0; i < totalSize; i++){ for(var j:Number = 0; j < totalSize; j++){ var tile = container1.attachMovie("tileMC","tileMC"+container1.getNextHighestDepth(),container1.getNextHighestDepth()); tile._x = j*tile._width; tile._y = i*tile._height; } } </pre> And you got some AS2 general tilemaking stuff.
