Diddy + Tiled - ObjectLayer and.......

I'm a bit confused as to how this would work but I have my tiled TileMap with an Object Layer. The Object Layer has placed on to it the movable starting positions for my enemy characters. Say I have 3 enemies added to the ObjectLayer each in a different location; how would I then grab their locations and store in either a list or Array for the purpose of spawning the enemies when the tilemap is loaded and the level begins?

Ta!

There is the method GetAllObjects in class TileMap.

For Local obj:TileMapObject = EachIn tilemap.GetAllObjects()
  Print("Level object found: "+obj.name+" x: "+obj.x+" y:"+obj.y)
  if obj.properties.Get("typ")<>NULL
     local typ:int=obj.properties.Get("typ")
     ' you can retreive objects parameter set by you this way
  endif 
next

Thanks! It didn't work on a straight copy and paste but I managed to sort it by modifying it to the following:

		For Local obj:TileMapObject = EachIn tilemap.GetAllObjects()
		  'Print("Level object found: "+obj.name+" x: "+obj.x+" y:"+obj.y)
		  If obj.Properties.Get("doo") <> Null
		     Local typ:int = obj.Properties.Get("doo").GetInt()
		     ' you can retreive objects parameter set by you this way
		  endif 
		Next

I don't understand what is causing this error for me all of a sudden.

Monkey Runtime Error : TypeError: Cannot call method 'p_ObjectEnumerator' of null

Strange!!! Sometimes it works and other times it spits this error. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

[edit] Nearly 3am in the morning here in London, England; my tiredness caused me to make a typo with a variable name which I have now fixed and am no longer getting this error.
