Save tile layer bug?

Hi,
I've tried to create a tile layer with the tile editor and save it as a stand alone tile layer (not a complete map).
When I then try to load it back in script I get an error telling me something in the lines of "invalid stream header" or something.
It's really easy to reproduce this behaviour:
1) Create a tilemap with the tileeditor (I tried a 5x5 tiles, one layer of 64x64 pixels tilemap)
2) Draw some tiles
3) Save as layer
4) Create layer object
5) Call layer.loadTileLayer() <-- gives you the error.
Saving loading whole tilemaps works though.
I work around this by loading complete tilemaps (containing only one layer).
Best regards,
Johan

I'll have to check the editorsource to be sure.

Hmm, yes - that was strange - I thought the same functions were used by the editor?I'll have to check the editorsource to be sure.

I tested the following code and it will load a layer called 'test', previously saved out from the tile editor.

It may be that the fxTileLayer2D object is designed only to be created through an fxTileMap2D since there don't seem to be any functions to add a layer to a map but there is the createTileLayer() function.I tested the following code and it will load a layer called 'test', previously saved out from the tile editor.
$map = new fxTileMap2D() { scenegraph = t2dSceneGraph; };
$layer = $map.createTileLayer( "1 1 1 1" );
$layer.loadTileLayer( "T2D/client/test" );
echo( "Tile counts:" SPC $layer.getTileCount() );
echo( "Tile sizes:" SPC $layer.getTileSize() );

I wonder if there is any difference performance wise between loading the layer via a created tile layer in a tile map, or as loading a complete map (although only with one layer) and then use getLayer() ??

Ok, that might be the case.I wonder if there is any difference performance wise between loading the layer via a created tile layer in a tile map, or as loading a complete map (although only with one layer) and then use getLayer() ??
