Hey all,

I have a pattern which I want to tile over my stage background, is there a way that I can do like I said, a tile and not make a 800x600 (just an example) image which takes up a lot of not needed space.:hat:

Thanks in advanced,

Yes, there is an example.  
Look at the gray circles pattern over the purple background :sigh:

That pattern was generated using AS. It was not supposed to fade in or something like Voetsjoeba’s fade grid effect.

it’s not supposed to as a bg/image. The first tutorial will work  
perfect for that.
