- Updated for version 4.53.

- ok, so i am already a partial geek for playing clash of clans, but i went full geek by creating this app :)
- the motivation for creating this app is to remove some of the tedium of building a map on the iphone. it is easier to create a layout in a stand alone app than to do it on the iphone. this should save some time and make it easier to plan a map layout.
- since i had already created a tile based game (Tower Defense), i was able to refactor that engine to create this app in a couple of weekends.
- i wanted to add a save and load feature, but flash 8 does not support file writes on a local system (poo). i would have to write a back end web service that calls into a database or calls another application that can handle the permissions with writing to a users system. ehh... maybe i will try that later.
- flash does have a sharedObject variable saving method, but you can only save 1 variable at a time. however, there would be thousands of variables to save on a full map and it would be tedious to save and load each variable individually. if anyone knows a better way to do this, let me know. i am willing to learn :)
- directions on how to use the map designer are built in to the app. have fun :)
