I would like to have a layer that tiles an image, similar to windows desktop tiling, I found a tutorial on kirupa but it the tiling shrinks the bitmap down and tiles in at a really tiny size. I will be setting the width of the Flash Project to 100% of the screen.

Put this in a keyframe with your tile. Put the tile in the upper left hand corner. Name it ball in this instance.

onEnterFrame = function(load) {  
var maxNum = 10;  
var num = 0;  
for (a=1; a\<=maxNum; a++) {  
for (b=1; b\<=maxNum; b++) {  
\_root.movie.ball.duplicateMovieClip(“ball”+num, num);  
\_root.movie[“ball”+num].\_x = a_95;  
\_root.movie[“ball”+num].\_y = b_95;  
num++;  
setProperty(ball, \_visible, 0);  
}  
}

}  
gotoAndStop(2);
