It is creating a virtual tile params, like hexagon X and Y positions, number of tile on the map, and attach movieclip from library with a tile image/animation, assigning to it all virtual params. Only thing i'm couldn't tell surelly is does "hexagon_movieclip" array, object, or just a temporal variable with movieclip pointer. Since it's not appear in further code, i'm suggest it's just temporal. for (x=0; x<grid_x_size; x++) {
for (y=0; y<grid_y_size; y++) {
hexagon_x_position = hexagon_width*x+(y%2)*hexagon_width/2;
hexagon_y_position = hexagon_height*y/4*3;
hexagon_number = x+y*grid_x_size;
hexagon_movieclip = attachMovie("hhexagon", "hhexagon_"+hexagon_number, hexagon_number, {_x:hexagon_x_position, _y:hexagon_y_position});
hexagon_movieclip.gotoAndStop(1);
hexagon_movieclip.txt.text = hexagon_number;

Could you, please, tell why we divide hexagon height by two here, don't use it next and divide by 4 at last two conditions? I'm spend a night to understand it, and could not. :(

I've converted this to AS3 code quickly (I like AS3), if you want me to email it to you I've left my email here so you can contact. Some nice code, I'd like to interoperate it into a game in the future for a turn based strategy game. Not sure how on earth to contact you.
