[F8] changing code to function breaks it

[svenviking]

Hi there, I'm trying to make this piece of code (that takes a jpg/gif turns it into bitmap data, and tiles it BEHIND everything else) into a function, so I can call it with different parameters (such as img url, description etc.).

This is the code inline, that works perfectly:

code:

---

	initialLoad("loading wallpaper...");

	img = "./images/bg.gif"

	this.createEmptyMovieClip("tile_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

	//	trace(this.getNextHighestDepth());

	loader = new MovieClipLoader()

	loader.addListener(this)

	loader.loadClip(img, _root.tile_mc)



	function fillBG() {

		this.beginBitmapFill(myBitmap);

		this.moveTo(0,0);

		this.lineTo(Stage.width,0);

		this.lineTo(Stage.width,Stage.height);

		this.lineTo(0,Stage.height);

		this.lineTo(0,0);

		this.endFill();

		}

		

	function onLoadInit() {	

		updateLoad("wallpaper loaded.");

		myBitmap = new BitmapData(tile_mc._width, tile_mc._height,true,0x00FFFFFF)

		myBitmap.draw(tile_mc)

	    tile_mc.removeMovieClip()

		fillBG(); 

		}



	function onLoadError() {

		tile_mc.removeMovieClip() 

		}



	fillBG();

	

	var stageL:Object = new Object();

	stageL.onResize = function() { fillBG(); }

	Stage.addListener(stageL);

---

Now this code is my attempt at modifying it to a function (just adding function x(), and closing {, then calling it)

code:

---

function loadTile() {

	initialLoad("loading wallpaper..."); //changes text for preloader

	img = "./images/bg.gif" //url to image

	this.createEmptyMovieClip("tile_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

	//	trace(this.getNextHighestDepth());

	loader = new MovieClipLoader()

	loader.addListener(this)

	loader.loadClip(img, _root.tile_mc)



	function fillBG() {

		this.beginBitmapFill(myBitmap); //this code tiles the bitmap

		this.moveTo(0,0);

		this.lineTo(Stage.width,0);

		this.lineTo(Stage.width,Stage.height);

		this.lineTo(0,Stage.height);

		this.lineTo(0,0);

		this.endFill();

		}

		

	function onLoadInit() {	

		updateLoad("wallpaper loaded.");

		myBitmap = new BitmapData(tile_mc._width, tile_mc._height,true,0x00FFFFFF)

		myBitmap.draw(tile_mc)

	    tile_mc.removeMovieClip()

		fillBG(); 

		}



	function onLoadError() {

		tile_mc.removeMovieClip() 

		}



	fillBG();

	

	var stageL:Object = new Object();  //this is a listener for when it resizes

	stageL.onResize = function() { fillBG(); }

	Stage.addListener(stageL);

}



loadTile();

Now the first code works perfectly, the second loads the bitmap ABOVE everything else, and doesn't tile.

I can't figure out what it is - any ideas?

Many thanks, look forward to some help - all help so far has been great! love you ALL!

try moving the functions that you have inside the main function to outside the outside the main function. I think that's where your problem is.
