   What you are wanting essentially is a tilemap of tilemaps. =) You can use the TMXGenerator to generate the pieces of the larger map on the fly, and place the smaller actual tilemaps side by side, creating them as you need them (and also disposing of them if you need to do so after you're done with them).

   Nobody can really tell you much more without more details.

   Short answer: you can't make a literal endless TMX map.

   semi-short answer: You can make a bunch of small TMX maps and place them side by side, simulating an endless TMX map.

   Hope that helps some.

   I don't have a good tutorial handy for you. Look around, there are a few tutorials to make endless levels based on tiny wings, but those aren't tile based. For the tile stuff I would get a single small TMX map completed and get it working. Then make yourself a sample of multiple TMX maps side by side. Then you can tackle dynamically adding and removing the levels.
