Received error when loading my map

[dlentz-ibm]

I received the following error when calling this.animatedTiles.init

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of null

What I found was that if there is a layer in the tile map JSON which has not been added to the map using Phaser APIs (createStaticLayer/createDynamicLayer) then that layer will not have a 'Type' property and the animatedTiles.init fails.

Since this plugin requires animated layers to by DynamicLayers I changed line of code 410 in AnimatedTiles.js from this:

if (layer.tilemapLayer.type === "StaticTilemapLayer") {

to this:

if ((!layer.tilemapLayer) ||
    (!layer.tilemapLayer.type) ||
    (layer.tilemapLayer.type === "StaticTilemapLayer")) {

This fixed my issue because my animatedTiles.js is ignoring all layers that are not dynamic however I wanted to share this in case others hit this issue.
