As I've seen someone ask how to do this every now and then, I've written a basic tutorial building a tilemap in AGK. Covers loading a simple external map file (text file), displaying the tile map, and scrolling. You can view it on my website or download the attached PDF. (you'll still need to go to the site to grab the image used)
There will be a part 2 covering additional features and performance enhancements.

Part 2 is now available on my website. It'll teach you character movement, collision, and how to save memory by using only a handful of sprites to draw a map of any size.


@Azamaticon, try using the following commands on your image before passing it into the sprite.

SetImageMagFilter( iImageIndex, 0)
SetImageMinFilter( iImageIndex, 0)
Tiled TMX Importer V.2
XML Parser V.2
Base64 Encoder/Decoder
