I found a free Tile Background Using AS3, you can find it at http://www.as3tutorial.com tutorials page.

Never mind! I found the answer. Here’s a page explaining how to tile any movie clip or whatever you desire:

Pardon my noob-ness. I like how bitmaps can be treated like fills in Flash and I want to do the same with vector artwork. I want to make a tiling vector background. Can anyone please advise?

import your bitmap. When the bitmap is in the library right click on it and go to properties. Click Export for actionscript. The place the code on its own layer. Make sure you publish for Flash 8.

I tried param name="wmode" value="transparent" parameter and my flash background is still showing.

I want to make it transparent.

I am using Flash 8

Thanks Jerdison

Looks very promising, I have a little question though, is there any way to make that whole pattern into a controllable movieclip? Say if i want to fade out or color it or similar.

Yes, just use this pattern: BitmapDataObject.draw(VectorMovieClip);

This will transfer the bitmap representation of the vector (movie) into the bitmap object.

You can change the colors later by changing the pixels in the bitmap, or recreating the bitmap after changing the source vector movieclip.

Is there anyway to “tile” a vector drawing, perhaps a movie clip? Or does all the definition for the tiles area have to be programed in. So, let’s say I have a movie clip which is a drawn star (not programmed in through coordinates) and want to change to color of it by using a bitmap instead of the setRGB function. Can I do this?

Thank you in advance!

does anyone know how to make your flash document have a transparent background? i want to use a background in my HTML doc (that i am incorporating the flash into) and i want it to match with my flash document.

thanks!

make sure that you set the bmp in your libary for export for actionscript. works beautifully

IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME

I copied to code into a virgin document and imported a simple 20x20 bitmap as a test into the library.

It doesnt show a thing.

Any thoughts?

Doesn’t want to work where do I have to place the bitmap ? in my library ?
I placed it in my library gave it a unique name etc.. replaced the name in the script doesn’t seem to work, just placed the actionscript in a Actions layer…
can anyone sent me an example ?

Very nice, but I coudnt implement it I had cut and paste the code and got this 3 errors in the Output:

Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=Action Layer, frame=1:Line 1: Syntax error.
import flash.display.BitmapData;

Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=Action Layer, frame=1:Line 3: ‘{’ expected
function createTiles():Void {

Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=Action Layer, frame=1:Line 16: Unexpected ‘}’ encountered
}

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3

Note that I have put the class in the right place, the image linked in the library as well. So, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
