Hey, what you could do, is to use System.setClipboard(array); instead of tracing the whole map. That would do so you can just get the map code directly to the “copy paste” thing.

@Prankard yes the editor make the array of arrays in one big array, and its the same in as2 and as3.
For the as2 fans I have develop an as2 version, can found it in the forums http://www.triquitips.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=641&p=4516
Enjoy.

This editor only traces out the level array. Basically, the traced array should be the same for both versions of the engine (both AS2 and AS3).

But obviously you need flash 9 or greater to export AS3 (unless you have flash 8 with the beta AS3).

Just remove all the “level[0] = ” etc and replace it with:
level = *insert traced level here*

Wow, that’s really good! Can you convert it to AS2, though, because I really suck at AS3.

Could you also maybe explain how it works, in case we want to make our own custom level editors fitted to our own needs?

Also, to Daniel Felipe Rodriguez, whoever you may be, you might want to add a legend at the bottom of the legend editor. Awesome work!
