Hi, I'm working on a game and as part of the user interface there is a map, which is how the player gets from place to place; however, I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out what the best way is to only display a 5x5 tile view of the map surrounding the player_mc... I was thinking I could use a mask maybe and literally move the map holding MC for each move but I am not sure if its the best way to do it... So far all my code is in an .AS file and I'm weary of putting stuff on the stage... You can see what I have in terms of the map so movement so far here: http://www.geocities.com/ihrimtest/test.html

Small side question, how on earth do I get transparency on my imported bitmaps? T_T

Thanks in advance,
