I am following a tutorial for creating an fluid layout but I have hit a few hang ups.
the tutorial is here: http://stairwellblog.com/2009/05/creating-fluid-as3-flash-layouts-extending-the-basics/
I am wanting to know how I can tile my background. This image I am wanting to tile is made in flash and is very simple a few lines in a MC very basic. this is what I have atm action script wise.
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResizeStage);
setElementsXY();
function onResizeStage(evt:Event):void {
//trace("Stage Height = " + stage.stageHeight,"Stage Width =" + stage.stageWidth);
setElementsXY();
}
function setElementsXY():void {
//------------------------------------------------------------
/*Initialize the start x and y values of your fluid elements*/
//------------------------------------------------------------
logo.x = ((stage.stageWidth / 2) - (logo.width / 2));
logo.y = ((stage.stageHeight / 2) - (logo.height / 2));
nav.x = stage.stageWidth /7;
nav.y = ((stage.stageHeight / 2) + 20);
foot.y = stage.stageHeight - foot.height;
foot.width = stage.stageWidth;
bg.width = bg.repeat;
bg.height = stage.stageHeight;
//------------------------------------------------------------
/*Establish layout boundaries your fluid elements*/
//------------------------------------------------------------
if (nav.x <= 10) {
nav.x = 10;
}
else {
//do nothing or give some direction
//trace("no change");
}
if (foot.y <= (nav.height + logo.height + 20)) {
foot.y = (nav.height + logo.height + 20);
}
else {
//do nothing or give some direction
//trace("no change");
}
if (foot.y <= (logo.y + logo.height + 10)) {
foot.y = (logo.y + logo.height + 10);
}
else {
//do nothing or give some direction
//trace("no change");
}
if (logo.x <= (nav.x + nav.width + 10)) {
logo.x = (nav.x + nav.width + 10)
}
else {
//do nothing or give some direction
//trace("no change");
}
}
if you look at the bg. you will see I have tried to make it repeat but oviously didn’t work. So I googled and every one seemed to sugest using some Bitmap fix but I am not using a bit map but a mc. What should I be doing?
