lua dynamically instantiate

[nuvorm]

Hello everyone,

I am very new to mmf2, coming from as3 development. The concept itself
seems really appealing to me although i cannot get my head around a few things.

- is there a way to create objects dynamically for instance with lua and dynamically
set the visual on it?

for loop
create tile on position
set visual for tile
end

I would like to make a tile editor where the (stage?) is being populated by tile instances
presented in a grid, then itterate over each tile to set the current visual
from an array value. (is it possible to copy pixels form a tileset image and place the copied image into another object?)

is there a hands on tutorial about how to instantiate, access and manipulate objects with lua? or could anyone
point me in the right direction how to handle such task?

kind regards,
Wouter

Welcome!

You don't actually need Lua for this. You can do it using fastloops, however you might find Lua easier to work with since you are coming from a scripting language, and it may also execute faster on heavier tasks.
