Min. tile code

Whats the minimum code i need to get a tilemap to display, forgetting the scene graph, no matter what i try it always seems to not show, atm i am adding
$tMap = new fxTileMap2D() { scenegraph = $bSceneGraph; };
$tMap.loadTileMap("~/client/maps/l1.map");
%layer = $tMap.getTileLayer( 0 );
%layer.setPosition( "0 4" );
%layer.setSize( "60 60" );
%layer.setTileSize( "4 4" );
into the relevent section of client.cs
the map is saved and the images are loaded as a data block, but still my screen is blank :(
cheers

(note: just incase you don't already know, hit the "~" tilde key to bring up the console)
other than that my two top thoughts were exactly the same as Josh

Any errors coming up in console, look for red text(note: just incase you don't already know, hit the "~" tilde key to bring up the console)

Glad you got it working, lol always little things, but then again better something small than something large

Tis true, now i got to get my head around these coord systems, seem illogical, but once i read up i'm sure it'll be all good

The akward thing is the coord system is "logical" :) It uses a logical system rather than screen pixels which gives you soooo much more power

If this code isn't working, my guess is either $bSceneGraph is not an appropriately set-up scenegraph, or ~client/maps/l1.map does not resolve to a valid tile map that can be displayed.
