Build a tile-based map in Flash

var square:Sprite = new Sprite();

var tileWidth:int = 32;
var tileHeight:int = 32;

    var row:int = 0;

    for (var i:int=0;i<5;i++) {

        if (i > 0)
        {
            row = 32 * i;
        }

    square.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
    square.graphics.drawRect(row,0,32,32);
    square.graphics.endFill();
    addChild(square);

    }

This is my code so far, is square.graphics the way to go? How do I draw a tile that is a picture? Do I need to hold the graphics in some sort of array to do checking like collision?

If you are going to desire any performance out of this, you need to look at things like blitting - or copying pixel data from a source image to single display object in this case. So you make a crazy image with all your tiles on it. Then your blit engine copies specific boxes of the image representing that tile to a specific place in the larger display object.

Google - as3 blitting - or check out http://freelanceflashgames.com/news/2010/02/08/bold-pixel-engine-an-as3-framework-for-games/
