I’ve made many websites with some sort of tiling texture and finally decided to make a class out of it. Its pretty clean and simple.
Example: http://ronnieswietek.com/hosted/kirupa/tile/
The FLA:
import com.ronnieswietek.GUI.BGTile;
//new Wood(0,0) is reference to a bitmap in your library. My linkage just happens to be Wood
var tile:BGTile = new BGTile(new Wood(0,0));
//You may want to add tile into a movieclip that is on your background layer
addChild(tile);
The class:
package com.ronnieswietek.GUI
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.Event;
public class BGTile extends Sprite
{
private var reference :BitmapData;
private var tile :Sprite;
public function BGTile(bitmap:BitmapData)
{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initTile);
reference = bitmap;
}
private function initTile(e:Event):void
{
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initTile);
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, tileBG);
tileBG();
}
private function tileBG(e:Event = null):void
{
var oldTile:Sprite = tile;
tile = new Sprite();
tile.graphics.beginBitmapFill(reference);
tile.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
tile.graphics.endFill();
addChild(tile);
if (oldTile != null && oldTile != tile)
{
removeChild(oldTile);
}
}
}
}
Hope you guys find it useful!
