[as2] external image tiled background [help please!]
Hi...
I've run into a bit of a small -ish prolem.
I'm using my trusty tiled background code which tiles an image in my library, with the linkage name of 'tile'.
PHP Code:
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
_parent.tileMC.beginBitmapFill(tile);
_parent.tileMC.moveTo(0, 0);
_parent.tileMC.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
_parent.tileMC.lineTo(Stage.width, 4000);
_parent.tileMC.lineTo(0, 4000);
_parent.tileMC.lineTo(0, 0);
_parent.tileMC.endFill();
};
I know there must be a way to have the original image loaded via xml, so it can be chnaged quickly if necessary without opening up flash.
I've got my xml set up so it loads the tile jpeg into a variable called '_parent.BgdImage', and have tried this as my code to tile that, but I get no joy!
PHP Code:
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(_parent.BgdImage);
tile.draw(_parent.BgdImage);
_parent.tileMC.beginBitmapFill(tile);
_parent.tileMC.moveTo(0, 0);
_parent.tileMC.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
_parent.tileMC.lineTo(Stage.width, 4000);
_parent.tileMC.lineTo(0, 4000);
_parent.tileMC.lineTo(0, 0);
_parent.tileMC.endFill();
};
Does anyone have any ideas on where to go from here. Thought this would be a simple thing...
Cheers for any advice offered
Jeff
