Hi,

This problem has been tested, it works well. step as follow:
1. add some properties to a layer in a tmx file:
@ <layer name="tlBackground" width="10" height="6">
<properties>
<property name="PointsValue" value="{345,543}"/>
<property name="myTileSize" value="200"/>
</properties>
<data encoding="base64" compression="zlib">
eJzjYGBg4BhBGADlsAHh
</data>
</layer>@

1. add some codes to myApp.js in HellowHTML5World app:
   @ var myMap = cc.TMXTiledMap.create(“res/DtMaps.tmx”);
   this.addChild(myMap, 9);
   myMap.setAnchorPoint(cc.p(0.5,0.5));
   myMap.setPosition(size.width / 2, size.height / 2);
   var selTMXLayer = myMap.getLayer(“tlBackground”);
   console.log(“myTileSize:” + selTMXLayer.getProperty(“myTileSize”));
   console.log(“PointsValue:” + selTMXLayer.getProperty(“PointsValue”));@

2. Console outputs the result:
   myTileSize:200
   PointsValue:{345,543}

Here is the codes for parsing TMXLayer’s properties in CCTMXXMLParser.js:
@ var layerProps = selLayer.querySelectorAll(“properties > property”);
if (layerProps) {
var layerProp = {};
for (j = 0; j < layerProps.length; j++) {
layerProp[layerProps[j].getAttribute(‘name’)] = layerProps[j].getAttribute(‘value’);
}
layer.setProperties(layerProp);
}@

I see..

I was misusing the code now that I look at it.

You see, Tiled allows for giving properties to the tmx file itself (which is the logical place to store some properties, and not on some arbitrary layer) and that was the property I wanted to get.

The xml would look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<map version="1.0" orientation="orthogonal" width="3" height="7" tilewidth="64" tileheight="64">
<properties>
<property name="optimo" value="5"/>
</properties>
<tileset firstgid="1" name="piso" tilewidth="64" tileheight="64">
<image source="piso.png" width="64" height="64"/>
</tileset>
...
...

Is there a way to get the value of “optimo” in my example?

Yes,

The cc.TMXTiledMap has a function “getProperty”.

for example:
var myMap = cc.TMXTiledMap.create("res/DtMaps.tmx");
myMap.getProperty("optimo");

And that’s the method that keeps returning “undefined” no matter what.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you, and sorry for the extra work from me not specifying the bug properly.
