Followed the step by step instructions to create a duplicate or tile background in flash MX 2004 as described on this page:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/duplicatebackground.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/duplicatebackground.htm)

The tile works beautifully with one glaring exception, it covers all the content! How do I get the tile on the background?  
I’m a flash (and forum) novice so any help would be wonderful!
