AxTilemap.scale?

[Wiering]

Changing AxTilemap.scale doesn't seem to do anything, for example in the AxeliteBasic demo I'm trying:

        ...
        tilemap.scale.x = 4;
        tilemap.scale.y = 4;
        add (tilemap);

Oh yes, currently tilemaps don't implement everything that drawables have (I don't think rotating them works either, for example). They might be something I will support, but it requires a bit extra (for example, to make collision work on a scaled tilemap). Typically, I don't see scaling tilemaps as a very common occurrence though, so it's lower on the priority list.

I generally use it to have multiple background layers that use the same graphics but each one at a smaller size (and different shade).

I'll look into supporting scale for tilemaps. However, unlike flixel where tilemaps are a single bitmap, here each tile is a separate quad, so scaling can get tricky (with zooming at non-integer scales, I had some issues). If I can support it, I'll get it in there. :)
